Who is Sevee & Maher Engineers (SME)? SME is the parent company of Bono Consulting, and a nationwide civil and environmental engineering consulting firm headquartered in Cumberland, Maine. SME provides civil engineering, site investigation and remediation, water resource development, Brownfields redevelopment support, power and utility services, and other engineering and environmental consulting services to commercial, industrial, and governmental clients across the United States.
How did the relationship between SME and Bono start? Bono and SME partnered on several renewable energy design and permitting projects in Illinois starting in 2022. When we realized how well both companies’ cultures fit together – a commitment to a client-first approach and smart, sustainable designs — we recognized the benefits of combining teams and working together as one.
Are there any benefits to clients with the SME and Bono partnership? Yes! Because SME operates across the country and has experienced engineering professionals in multiple fields, clients in the Midwest will benefit from additional expertise, services, and capacity for their projects.
What are the new engineering services coming to Bono from SME? Bono already staffs civil engineers with exceptional experience in the greater Chicago and Midwest areas. With the addition of SME’s multidisciplinary services, clients and prospective clients can also access water resources services, environmental due diligence such as Phase I ESAs, power and utility services, Brownfields redevelopment support, and more.
Here at Bono, we’re excited to be part of Sevee & Maher Engineers because we know we will be able to further help our current clients with their projects, and branch out into new, diversifying projects that will benefit our Midwest communities.
