What Racey Engineering does

Racey Engineering, PLLC is a privately held, multi-disciplined engineering and surveying firm headquartered in Luray, Virginia. Founded informally by Pat and Chris Racey in 1994 and incorporated in 2002, the firm provides integrated services across civil, structural, mechanical, plumbing, construction engineering, project management, inspection, surveying, and mapping. Its Total Project Management (TPM) offering coordinates these disciplines from conceptual planning through permitting, construction, and closeout, positioning the firm as a single-source provider for clients who would otherwise coordinate multiple specialty consultants.

The firm's technical capabilities center on modern surveying and design technology, including aerial drone survey and photography, 3D laser scanning for pre-construction site characterization, 3D machine control modeling for construction stakeout, and water distribution system modeling and analysis. It holds Professional Engineering licensure in Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Georgia, South Carolina, and West Virginia, plus Land Surveying licensure in VA, NC, KY, and PA, and is certified as a SWaM (Small, Women-owned, and Minority-owned) and HUBZone small business.

Racey generates revenue on a project-by-project, fee-for-service basis through direct client engagement with government agencies, commercial developers, industrial clients, and private landowners, and as a subcontractor to general contractors and other engineering firms. The company is entirely founder-owned, with no disclosed institutional investment, and operates with an 11-50 person team from its Luray headquarters with project reach across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. Its client roster spans VDOT-adjacent transportation work, municipal water and wastewater infrastructure, federal projects including Shenandoah National Park, and private residential and commercial site development.

Core offering

Racey Engineering is a multi-disciplined engineering and surveying firm providing civil, structural, mechanical, and construction engineering services along with professional surveying and mapping. The firm operates a Total Project Management (TPM) delivery model that coordinates projects from initial visioning through preliminary planning, design, permitting, construction administration, and closeout. It serves government agencies, commercial developers, industrial clients, residential owners, and general contractors across Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Georgia, South Carolina, and West Virginia.

Product overview

Racey Engineering is a multi-disciplined engineering and surveying firm offering a comprehensive portfolio of services centered around Total Project Management (TPM) as the overarching delivery approach. The company's core service offerings include Civil Engineering, Surveying, Structural Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Waste Water/Water Supply, Pre-Construction, and Construction Support, each functioning as distinct but interconnected service lines. TPM serves as the umbrella service that coordinates all project phases from initial vision development through design, permitting, construction management, and closeout, while the individual engineering disciplines (civil, structural, mechanical, wastewater/water supply) and surveying services are delivered both independently and as integrated components within TPM engagements. This architecture allows clients to engage individual specialties as needed or leverage the full-service TPM approach for comprehensive project delivery.
