What The Lomax Consulting does

The Lomax Consulting Group (TLCG) is a privately held, family-owned environmental consulting firm headquartered in Cape May Court House, New Jersey. Founded in 1975 by Joseph L. Lomax, the firm provides professional environmental consulting services to public and private sector clients across the tri-state area and select international markets including Africa, Europe, and Central America. With 1-10 employees, TLCG operates as a boutique consultancy offering six core service areas: Ecological Services (wetlands delineation, threatened and endangered species surveys, wildlife studies), Regulatory Compliance & Permitting (NJDEP, USACE, Pinelands Commission, NEPA), Land Use Planning and Zoning Support, Design and Mapping Services (GIS, GPS, aerial photography interpretation), Environmental Hazard Assessments (due diligence, brownfield redevelopment), and Specialized Services (expert testimony, development team management).

The firm serves a diversified client base spanning government agencies (U.S. Coast Guard, Cape May County, Atlantic County, Greater Wildwood Tourism Authority), educational institutions (Rowan University, Atlantic Cape Community College), and private-sector companies (Lund's Fisheries, Burke Motor Group). Revenue is generated through project-based professional services fees, with engagements quoted on a scope- and complexity-dependent basis. TLCG's go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, leveraging its 50-year reputation, 3,000+ completed projects, and the personal involvement of Managing Partners Joseph L. Lomax (founder, Vice President) and Peter L. Lomax (President since 1994, 1,500+ studies led). The firm's competitive positioning rests on deep regulatory expertise, institutional relationships with New Jersey environmental agencies, and a multidisciplinary team of ecologists, planners, and environmental scientists.

Its core offerings span ecological services (wetland delineation, threatened/endangered species surveys, habitat assessments), regulatory compliance and permitting (NJDEP, USACE, Pinelands Commission, NEPA), land use planning and zoning, GIS-based design and mapping, environmental hazard assessments, and specialized services including expert testimony and development team management for multi-agency projects.

Product overview

The Lomax Consulting Group is an environmental consulting firm offering a unified suite of professional services rather than a software product or platform. The company provides six interconnected service areas: Ecological Services (wetland delineation, wildlife studies, threatened species surveys), Regulatory Compliance & Permitting (jurisdictional determinations, land use permits, NEPA compliance), Land Use Planning & Zoning Support, Design & Mapping Services (GIS, aerial photography), Environmental Hazard Assessments (due diligence, brownfield redevelopment), and Specialized Services (expert testimony, development team management).

Direct peers

• Roux Associates: Roux Associates is a Northeast-based environmental consulting firm specializing in site investigation, remediation, regulatory compliance, and brownfield redevelopment.

• French & Parrello Associates: French & Parrello Associates is a New Jersey-based multidisciplinary engineering and environmental consulting firm offering land use planning, permitting, and environmental site services. Its mid-Atlantic regional focus and municipal/government client base closely mirror TLCG's market position.
• McCabe Environmental Services: McCabe Environmental Services is a Northeast-based ecological and environmental consulting firm providing wetlands delineation, threatened and endangered species surveys, and permitting services. It directly competes with TLCG in the same ecological and regulatory compliance niche.
• Converse Consultants: Converse Consultants is a regional environmental and geotechnical engineering firm serving the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. The firm competes with TLCG in environmental assessments, land use planning, and regulatory permitting for public and private clients.
• CME Associates: CME Associates is a New Jersey-based environmental, engineering, and land surveying firm providing services to municipalities, developers, and public agencies. Its regional NJ focus and government clientele make it a close comparable to TLCG in size and service mix.

Broad incumbents

• Tetra Tech: Tetra Tech is a global leader in environmental consulting, engineering, and water resources. It operates at vastly larger scale than TLCG but competes for the same federal infrastructure, coastal, and environmental permitting work, particularly in New Jersey and the broader Northeast.
• Stantec: Stantec is a global professional services firm with a substantial environmental services practice covering permitting, ecological assessment, and regulatory compliance. It represents the larger end of the market where TLCG is unable to compete on mega-projects.
• Kleinfelder: Kleinfelder is a multi-disciplinary engineering and environmental consulting firm with deep Northeast U.S. presence. It competes with TLCG for environmental, permitting, and infrastructure work but operates at significantly larger scale with broader geographic reach.
• BrightView Environmental Services: BrightView provides environmental and land services including habitat restoration, vegetation management, and ecological consulting. Its involvement in similar ecological and land use work makes it a relevant overlap, though it operates at significantly larger scale.
• Langan Engineering & Environmental Services: Langan is a major East Coast engineering and environmental consulting firm with expertise in site/civil, geotechnical, and environmental services. It competes with TLCG in the New Jersey and tri-state market for development and infrastructure projects requiring environmental permitting.
