Solutions IPEM

What Solutions IPEM does

Solutions IPEM (legally Solutions, Integrated Planning, Engineering, & Management, LLC) is a privately held multi-disciplinary professional services firm headquartered in Georgetown, Delaware, with a second office in Salisbury, Maryland. Founded in 2010, the firm employs 11–50 staff and serves government and private-sector clients across the Delmarva region (Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia). Its client base spans residential and commercial developers, retailers, healthcare providers, educational institutions, and municipalities, with named engagements including Salisbury University, Royal Farms, Pot-Nets Communities, Starbucks, and several regional medical offices.

The firm operates as an integrated consultancy rather than a software product company, offering six core service lines—Architecture, Civil Engineering, Land Surveying, Planning, Landscape Design, and Project/Entitlement Management—plus specialized Digital Mapping and Inspections. Underlying technology includes UAV/drone aerial mapping and inspection, dual-frequency GPS base stations, a Virtual Reference Network (VRN) for real-time corrections across the Eastern Shore of Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware, and standardized CAD/GIS workflows that integrate field data collection with office design and documentation. The technology stack is conventional engineering tooling rather than AI-driven.

Solutions IPEM generates revenue through project-based professional services fees for engineering, architectural, surveying, planning, landscape design, and management engagements, billed per scope. Go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct client relationships, referrals, regional building association involvement, and a website portfolio showcasing completed work. Multi-state licensure (including recent PE and PLS additions in Delaware) and multi-disciplinary integration under one roof are positioned as the firm's principal competitive differentiators against both larger national firms and single-discipline local providers.
