What WMH Corporation does

WMH Corporation is a privately held civil engineering and planning firm founded in 2008 and headquartered in San Jose, California, with additional offices in Oakland, Rancho Cordova (Sacramento), and Escondido (San Diego). The firm provides end-to-end transportation infrastructure services — feasibility studies, preliminary engineering, final design, project management, and construction support — for highways, interchanges, transit facilities, tolling infrastructure, complete streets, bicycle/pedestrian facilities, and truck inspection facilities. Its core customers are California public-sector transportation agencies, including Caltrans and at least nine regional transportation authorities/commissions (VTA, Alameda CTC, CCTA, SFCTA, STA, TAM, BATA/MTC, SANDAG), with a smaller portfolio of smart city and telecom infrastructure design work for partners such as Philips, American Tower, Modus, Ericsson, and Google.

WMH's revenue is generated through professional services contracts awarded via competitive bidding and qualifications-based selection, with project lifecycles typically spanning multiple years from initiation through construction support. Pricing is project-specific and not publicly disclosed. The firm has been involved in major construction programs valued in the hundreds of millions (I-680 Southbound Express Lane $326M, SR-84 Expressway Modernization $244M, Yerba Buena Island West Side Bridge Retrofit $126M), and its leadership team has overseen more than $2 billion in cumulative infrastructure work.

WMH's technology stack centers on industry-standard civil engineering software (MicroStation, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, InRoads) augmented by proprietary in-house cloud applications — a web-based timesheet management system and supporting modules for invoicing, project budgeting, resource forecasting, mass mailing, and corporate phonebook — developed by CIO Robert Hadaya on PHP, mySQL, and Apache. The firm differentiates primarily through the deep Caltrans and regional agency experience of its senior leadership (many of whom previously held senior roles at URS/AECOM and Parsons Brinckerhoff/WSP), a multi-decade track record of project delivery in California, and industry recognition including CTF, America's Transportation Awards, and ITS America honors.
