McMahon LaRue Associates

What McMahon LaRue Associates does

McMahon LaRue Associates, P.C. is a privately held professional engineering and land surveying corporation headquartered at 822 Holt Rd, Webster, NY. Founded in 1995 by Gregory W. McMahon, PE and Alfred I. LaRue, PLS, the firm provides civil engineering and land surveying services across Monroe, Wayne, Ontario, Genesee, and the Finger Lakes counties of upstate New York. Its five core service lines are Civil Engineering, Land Surveying, Site Development, Subdivision Design, and FEMA Compliance, with the last encompassing flood zone determinations, LOMA/LOMR filings, and elevation certificates.

The firm employs approximately 12 professionals operating as a New York Professional Corporation with active licensure in both Professional Engineering and Professional Land Surveying — an unusual dual-discipline combination that allows engineering and survey work to be delivered under a single engagement without inter-firm hand-offs. Field and design operations leverage drone-mounted LiDAR for aerial topography, HEC-RAS 2D for hydraulic modeling, and Carlson Civil Suite for site design. Customer engagement is sales-led and project-based, with principals directly involved in client relationships and a response commitment within one business day. The client base spans individual homeowners, realtors, architects, insurance companies, private developers/builders, and local municipalities.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees billed per project, with no public pricing, no subscriptions, and no disclosed revenue figures. Growth is organic and referral-driven, supported by an educational Insights content section on the website and memberships in ASCE, NYSAPLS, the Webster Chamber of Commerce, and the Rochester Home Builders Association. Current principal ownership rests with Ian F. Kuchman, PE (Managing Principal) and Bryan J. White, PLS (Principal/Survey Department Manager), with the founders continuing in advisory roles.
