What Hsq Group Inc. does

HSQ Group, LLC is a Florida-based civil engineering and planning firm founded in 2004 and headquartered in Miami, with additional offices in Sunrise (Broward County) and Boca Raton (Palm Beach County). The firm delivers five integrated practice areas — Civil Engineering, Transportation Engineering, Site Planning, Water Resource Management, and Construction Engineering & Inspection (CE&I) — for municipalities, transit authorities, private developers, and the Florida Department of Transportation across South Florida and extending to Orlando.

The firm's technical capabilities center on infrastructure design adapted to South Florida's environmental constraints: stormwater drainage systems, surface water management calculations, master flood routing analysis, hydraulic pipe sizing, sewage lift station design, roadway and intersection design, traffic signal design, and CE&I oversight. The firm has pioneered localized innovations such as Palm Beach County's first single-lane dual roundabouts. It operates under a project-based professional services model with scope-driven pricing, supplemented by construction inspection and permitting services that span the project lifecycle from due-diligence studies through punch-list inspection.

Since May 2022, HSQ has operated as an HFW Partner firm within The HFW Companies' national network of architectural and engineering legacy partners, gaining access to multi-disciplinary resources while remaining founder-led (Jay Huebner, Nour Shehadeh, and Antonio Quevedo). Revenue model is professional services on a contract basis; the firm has won consecutive PRISM Awards (Silver 2022, Platinum 2023) and maintains a documented client base spanning multiple Florida counties, FDOT, and named private developers including Lennar Homes.

Direct peers

• Kimley-Horn: One of the largest privately-held U.S. civil engineering consulting firms with a significant South Florida practice covering transportation, land development, water resources, and CE&I — directly competing with HSQ for municipal and developer RFPs in the same geography.
• Wantman Group: Florida-based civil engineering and planning firm headquartered in West Palm Beach that competes directly with HSQ on FDOT, municipal, and developer transportation and site development projects across South Florida.
• Chen Moore and Associates: Florida-focused civil engineering, water resources, and land development consulting firm with offices across South Florida — directly competing with HSQ for municipal water, stormwater, and site development work.

• Atwell Group: Mid-sized national consulting firm with a meaningful Florida land development and civil engineering practice, competing for residential and commercial developer site planning and CE&I work similar to HSQ's developer segment.

Broad incumbents

• Stantec: Global engineering, architecture, and environmental services firm with a strong Florida presence offering the same multi-discipline civil, transportation, and water resource capabilities as HSQ, though at far greater scale and with broader geographic reach.
• AECOM: Multinational infrastructure consulting firm with deep Florida operations covering transportation, water, and environmental engineering — competing with HSQ on large state DOT and municipal projects while offering far greater bench depth.
• Jacobs Solutions: Global professional services firm with significant Florida civil engineering and water resource practices, often competing for the same FDOT, water district, and municipal clients that HSQ serves.

Emerging players

• CALYX Engineers and Consultants: Florida-headquartered civil and transportation engineering firm with growing South Florida presence, competing with HSQ on FDOT and municipal roadway, traffic, and CE&I engagements.

Others

• HFW Partner Network firms (e.g., GHD, Wightman): Other partner firms within The HFW Companies' national A&E network — adjacent rather than directly competitive, but increasingly relevant as the HFW platform pools resources for multi-region pursuits that may include HSQ.
