Abbie Jones Consulting

What Abbie Jones Consulting does

Abbie Jones Consulting (AJC), operating as Abbie Jones Consulting, PSC, is a 100% woman-owned professional services firm founded in 2011 by Abbie Jones, PE, PLS and headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky. The firm delivers licensed land surveying, civil engineering, planning, dam engineering, utility engineering, and subsurface utility engineering (SUE) services to government, commercial, and residential clients across Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and surrounding states. AJC holds multi-state DOT prequalifications, DBE certifications across multiple states, and federal woman-owned certifications (WBENC, WOSB, EDWOSB), enabling participation in federally-funded and diversity-targeted procurement.

AJC operates a remote-first, distributed team of 11 professionals since its founding, delivering projects directly through licensed in-house staff without subcontracting of core disciplines. Service delivery relies on conventional precision surveying tools (GPS/GNSS, total stations, drone topographic mapping for non-precision applications, 3D modeling) and GPR partner services for SUE. The firm maintains a custom-project business model with retainers, Net 30 invoicing, and percentage-of-completion billing for larger engagements, alongside a small self-service online booking channel for residential lot surveys and LFUCG annual stormwater inspections. AJC's go-to-market combines direct sales via phone/website quote requests, government contracting through DOT prequalifications, and content marketing through an educational blog and Facebook presence.

The firm's revenue mechanics are project-based professional services fees, with pricing varying by project scope and complexity. Customer segments include state agencies (Kentucky DOT, Georgia DOT, Tennessee DOT), municipal clients, private developers, utility owners, aviation facilities, industrial partners, and residential property owners. The company has no outside investment, no parent company, and no subsidiaries, operating as an independent, founder-owned professional service corporation.

• SME (Testing Engineers & Consultants): Engineering firm specializing in geotechnical, environmental, and civil engineering services for infrastructure and development projects. Comparable because its subsurface investigation, civil site design, and infrastructure expertise directly overlaps with AJC's SUE and civil engineering practices.
• Woolpert: US-based architecture, engineering, and geospatial firm with strong surveying, civil engineering, and SUE practices. Comparable because it offers the same multi-disciplinary land surveying + civil engineering + utility locating bundle as AJC, but at significantly larger scale across more states.
• KCI Technologies: Multi-disciplinary engineering firm with surveying, civil, and transportation practices serving state DOTs and private developers. Comparable because it pursues the same state DOT prequalifications and delivers the same bundled surveying/engineering services as AJC.
• Atwell Group: Engineering, surveying, and consulting firm serving real estate, energy, and infrastructure markets across the US. Comparable because it combines land surveying, civil engineering, and SUE services for commercial developers and utilities — directly overlapping AJC's primary service lines.
• Benesch: Employee-owned engineering and professional services firm with significant transportation, civil, and surveying practices serving state DOTs and municipalities. Comparable because of its DOT-prequalified model and bundled surveying/civil engineering service delivery, similar in structure to AJC.

Comparable because of overlapping service mix in civil site design, surveying, and water/stormwater engineering for developers and municipalities.
