Today, with the help of our 350+ colleagues and over 100 licensed professionals, we have built a business around taking care of clients, communities, and team members. We see our core mission as “Creating Community” through everything we do.
Each of our team members are experts in their diverse specialty, whether that is infrastructure and development consulting, planning, transportation, geospatial technologies, surveying, utility coordination and design, CEI, or beyond. Using this expertise, ETM proudly provides award-winning services to agencies throughout the Southeast.
The real estate industry is a fast-moving, complex business that requires breadth and depth of knowledge, creativity, and certainty. We are built to handle the needs presented by this exhilarating environment. Our development consulting team offers many skill sets in the private real estate environment as we aid clients at every step of the process from concept to execution.
..Based upon their professional execution and responsiveness, I am pleased to recommend ETM for any work involving creative land use, challenging stormwater management system design, and projects requiring strict coordination, attention to detail, and an awareness and appreciation for the client’s needs.

Our expertise enables land developers to deliver the final product and close deals with buyers and begin generating revenue.
OFFSITE DESIGN: When large development begins to move forward, there are inevitably offsite roads and utilities to analyze and improve. With in-house public sector groups, we have the team to handle your needs.
SITE ENGINEERING: Thoughtful design matters because details matter. The final execution of detailed construction drawings is critical as they serve as the plans from which the Contractor constructs the project. The planners visions come to fruition in the engineering documents on the land.
TRAFFIC MODELING: Traffic planning is often the most contentious part of any large entitlement process. ETM’s expert traffic modeling team is highly efficient in performing the traffic modeling and entitlement support to defend the trips on the road.
LAND MANAGEMENT: Thoughtful land management creates tremendous value during final permitting and development. Everything from what direction the pine tree beds are planted to the details of trail roads add value towards maintaining the land for an optimized development output.
PLACEMAKING: When it comes to creating assets that stand the test of time, a visionary perspective is indispensable. Our team of land planners, landscape architects, and regulatory planners possesses the expertise to not only conceive these visionary concepts but also translate them into actionable plans.
LAND DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY: There are many variables to the ongoing value creation of any large land portfolio. ETM works with many landowners who each control tens of thousands of acres. We work together tirelessly to add value and ultimately monetize the land.
DISTRICT ENGINEER: Special Districts are a key driver of large land developments, as governmental entities have a tremendous amount of value in creating incredible amenity-rich communities. With experience serving as the District Engineer for over 40 special districts, ETM is pepared to guide any client through a development with a District in place.
SURVEY: When it is time to move from planner level sketches to engineering detail, information from the field is often the longest critical path item in the schedule. ETM’s in-house survey team give us the breadth and depth to move quickly on large land portfolios.
GEOSPATIAL TECHNOLOGIES: Managing information in real time on a large land portfolio can be challenging. ETM’s GIS teama provides our clients with access to a comprehensive and interactive solution that connects people, processes, and products to enhance data-driven problem-solving.
