Practical Engineering Solutions
Serving commercial, industrial, residential, and municipal clients across a range of industries
At Bono Consulting Civil Engineers, a Sevee & Maher Engineers (SME) company, we provide civil and environmental engineering services built on proven concepts, innovative technologies, and decades of real-world experience. From a small start, we began providing site engineering, topographic surveys, and permitting assistance for building and land development projects in 1997. Today, SME / Bono Consulting now offers a robust, broad portfolio of multidisciplinary solutions in markets across the country.
We put the client first – you can always count on the value we deliver through high-quality and on-time work at competitive rates. As part of SME, our team includes more than 100 engineers, geologists, hydrogeologists, chemists, scientists, surveyors, industrial hygienists, and technicians. Our background and experience mean we’ll give your project the personal attention it deserves.
From residential civil engineering to large-scale power and utility projects – whether you’re concerned with engineering design and permitting, environmental due diligence, or water resources services – SME / Bono Consulting draws on years of experience and a deep bench of expertise to deliver results on time and on budget.
In 2022, following a strategic partnership, Bono Consulting, Inc. was acquired by SME, a multi-disciplinary firm operating nationwide. The acquisition extended the depth and range of services Bono Consulting can offer our clients in the greater Chicago area and other regions of the country. It also enhances SME’s presence in the Midwest, providing the group with a strengthened platform to strategically grow its business by offering its full range of services to more clients nationwide.

Our Team
We are composed of engineers and surveyors with a wide range of backgrounds and experience. We thrive off the diversity of intellects and talents by allowing our engineers the freedom to grow and experience all aspects of project management at even entry-level positions. While great responsibility is given to each and every member of the team, we all work together to provide our clients with a final quality product. As a smaller firm, we can be more accessible, flexible, and fair with our clients, building a trusting reputation in the Chicagoland community and throughout the midwest. While creating innovative site development plans, we also expect to maintain a healthy balance between work, life, and personal growth. We benefit from getting to know everyone in the company and have established a trusting community here at Bono Consulting.
