Maurer-Stutz

What Maurer-Stutz does

Maurer-Stutz, Inc. (MSI) is a privately held, multi-discipline consulting engineering firm founded in 1996 and headquartered in Peoria, Illinois, with additional offices in Canton, Illinois and Muncie, Indiana, and remote team members across Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin. The firm employs 45+ credentialed professionals (PEs, PLS, GISP) and operates across ten service disciplines: Agricultural, Conservation, Construction, Geospatial Services (MSGS), Site Development, Structural, Surveying, Transportation, Wastewater, and Water. Its customer base is anchored in Midwest municipal, county, and federal public-sector clients, supplemented by agricultural producers, commercial developers, and institutional customers such as Illinois Central College.

The firm's technology stack is anchored in the Esri ArcGIS platform (ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Enterprise, Field Maps, Survey123, Experience Builder, Dashboards, Image Analyst, Earth, Quick Capture) deployed on Microsoft Azure, augmented by GPS, robotic total stations, drones (DJI Matrice 600 Pro and Mavic with Sony A7R 36.4MP sensor), and specialized engineering software (Appia, CMMS, Pix4D, Trimble, Autodesk, Bentley). The June 2024 launch of the MSGS division, coupled with a strategic partnership with GEOGRAPH Technologies for CrescentLink fiber network management, extends the firm into recurring geospatial and telecommunications-asset services, while Maurer-Stutz Unmanned provides licensed aerial surveying, photogrammetry, and inspections.

Maurer-Stutz generates revenue through project-based professional services fees for planning, design, permitting, construction support, and geospatial consulting delivered directly to public and private sector clients. It holds NRCS Certified Technical Service Provider status and is prequalified with IDOT and INDOT across multiple transportation disciplines. Distribution is direct, with no resale or partner channels; a prepaid Geospatial Solutions Plans (GSPs) block-of-hours model introduced under MSGS represents the firm's only deviation from pure project billing. The firm is independently owned with no disclosed parent company, institutional investor, funding rounds, or M&A activity.
