What KHEOPS Architecture, Engineering and Survey, DPC does

KHEOPS Architecture, Engineering and Survey, DPC is the New York State operating entity of KHAFRA Engineering Consultants, Inc., a privately held, certified Minority-Owned Business Enterprise (MBE) and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), 8(a)-certified professional services firm. The firm traces its continuous engineering practice to 1917 (originally Cudall, Powell & Mosher in Buffalo, NY) and was reorganized into the KHAFRA family through a 2013 acquisition. KHAFRA became 100% minority-owned in 1990 and is now led by a multi-disciplinary bench of PE, PLS, and AIA-credentialed principals with 30–48 years of individual experience. The combined entity employs approximately 90 staff across 7–8 U.S. offices (Buffalo HQ, Atlanta regional HQ, Baltimore, Birmingham, Dallas, Indianapolis, New York, Concord) plus selected international projects, and serves municipal, state, and federal government clients alongside private industrial, institutional, and commercial customers.

KHEOPS delivers an integrated portfolio spanning architecture, civil and site engineering, structural engineering, mechanical/electrical/plumbing/fire protection, environmental consulting, land survey, construction inspection and management, program management, municipal consulting, traffic and transportation engineering, and water/wastewater infrastructure. Underlying technology includes Building Information Modeling (BIM), cutting-edge surveying hardware (robotics, electronic total stations, GPS, OSHA- and Hazwopper-trained field crews), and the proprietary M3 (Mobile Meter Management) software platform — developed with Field2Base — for route optimization, electronic data capture, GPS verification, signature and barcode scanning, and trend analysis. Through the sister KHAFRA Operation Services (KOS) division, the firm also operates water and wastewater treatment plants (0.5–96 MGD), executes AMI/AMR deployment programs, staffs utility call centers, and delivers vegetation and infrastructure maintenance services.

The business model is anchored in three revenue streams: (i) professional services (A/E design, program/construction management — primarily cost-plus and fixed-price government and private contracts); (ii) managed services (water/wastewater facility operations, including the 30+ year Veolia joint venture at the 90 MGD Atlanta-Fulton County North Area Water Treatment Plant); and (iii) deployment and infrastructure services (AMI/AMR transmitter installations, meter changeouts, call center staffing, vegetation maintenance via JV partnerships with Veolia, VSI Meter Services, Grid One Solutions, and Asplundh). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the firm operates as both prime contractor and subconsultant, marketed primarily through direct enterprise field sales, government procurement vehicles, industry awards, and certifications, with marquee engagements including MARTA, Birmingham-Shuttlesworth and Hartsfield-Jackson airports, Mercedes Benz Stadium, Hyundai and Mercedes-Benz U.S. plants, Philadelphia Electric Company (2M+ meter program), and the City of Atlanta (165,000-meter AMI program).
