Paulson Mitchell

What Paulson Mitchell does

Paulson Mitchell Inc. (also referenced as Paulson Mitchell Wise Inc., DBA Paulson Mitchell) is a privately held civil engineering and site development firm founded in 1993 and headquartered at 85-A Mill Street Suite 200, Roswell, Georgia. The firm operates across three integrated disciplines — land planning, civil engineering, and landscape architecture — which it applies to four project categories: industrial, residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments. Its customers are real estate developers, property owners, and construction firms undertaking construction projects in the Southeast United States that require coordinated site preparation, infrastructure design, and outdoor-space planning. The firm reports a headcount of 11-50 employees and operates from a single office.

The firm delivers its services through project-based contracts; pricing is custom and quote-driven, dependent on project scope and complexity, with no publicly disclosed standard pricing. Its go-to-market motion is relationship-driven direct sales typical of B2B professional services: the firm maintains a Squarespace-hosted portfolio website (civilpmw.com) that catalogs completed projects by segment to attract developer clients, while primary client engagement is conducted directly with enterprise-level developers, property owners, and construction firms on a project-by-project basis. Marketing relies on industry reputation, word-of-mouth referrals, and direct client relationships rather than paid digital channels.

The underlying technology stack is described as standard civil engineering and site development practice with no proprietary features, patents, trademarks, or AI/ML capabilities disclosed. The firm has no disclosed funding rounds, no institutional investors, no parent company, no subsidiaries, no documented M&A activity, no regulatory actions, and no leadership changes beyond the original founding team (John Paulson is identified as founder and president). Ownership commentary characterizes the company as independently owned and operated since founding.
