Partnership Opportunities in Colorado

Primary markets: Land consultants, site selection firms, due-diligence specialists and civil engineers serving developers along the Colorado Front Range (Aurora, Denver, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Boulder and Golden).

Our expertise: We handle utility feasibility studies, water and wastewater master planning, CDPHE permitting, infrastructure cost estimating, and full engineering services that complement your site assessment and entitlement work.

Why Partner With MES?

We are built for partnership, not competition. Here is how the program works for land consultants, civil firms and their clients across Colorado.

Answer the Utility Question Your Client Just Asked

The situation:

Your developer client asks about water and sewer capacity during site assessment. You say “hire an engineer,” and the question leaves your hands.

The partnership:

You introduce MES. We give your client a complimentary first read on water and sewer. We handle the scope, the proposal and the delivery. You stay in every conversation you want to be in.

The result:

Your client gets a straight answer, even when the answer is “walk.” The answer came through you, and we stay behind you.

The Terms

First read: Every client you introduce gets a complimentary first read on their water and wastewater question. There is no cap.

Utility screen: If the client wants the answer in writing, a fixed-fee utility screen follows. It covers capacity, the CDPHE permitting pathway and a cost range. It is delivered in 15 business days.

Credit toward design: If the client goes ahead with MES, the utility screen is credited toward design.

We Never Poach Your Clients

The fear:

You may have tried a partnership like this before. The engineering firm went around you to your client. You lost the relationship.

Our policy:

Once you introduce a client, that relationship stays yours. We never approach your clients directly. We do not compete for your work or your clients.

How it works:

All communication goes through you unless you ask us to work with the client directly. We copy you on emails. The client hears that the work came through you.

Fast Answers Protect Site Acquisition Windows

The timeline challenge: Colorado developers make site decisions on tight timelines. A slow utility answer can cost your client the site or the purchase window.

Our approach: We answer inside your due-diligence window. The written utility screen arrives in 15 business days. We assess capacity, identify needed extensions, estimate costs and outline the CDPHE permitting pathway while the deal is still active.

Partner benefit: When you can answer utility questions during the due-diligence window, your client makes an informed purchase decision. You look responsive, not like a firm that refers out the hard questions.

Test Us With One Client Question

Start small: Don’t trust a new partner with your best client. Start with one client question. Judge us on the turnaround and the answer. If you are not impressed, walk away with no hard feelings.

Decision timeline: A 30-minute call to check fit. No exclusivity and no minimums. Your first client gets a first read, and you will know quickly whether this partnership works for you.

What we settle: Which way to partner fits your business, how to introduce us to your clients, and the next step.

First Read

Complimentary, for every client

You introduce a client with a water or wastewater question. We give them a first read and keep you informed.

Utility Screen

If the client wants it in writing

A fixed-fee utility screen, delivered in 15 business days. It covers capacity, the CDPHE permitting pathway and a cost range. It is credited toward design if the client goes ahead with MES.

What you see: A client who got a straight answer fast, and the start of an ongoing partnership.

What the Partnership Gives Back

• A complimentary first read for every client you introduce, and a straight answer even when the answer is “walk”
• Referrals back to you. When our own developer and landowner clients need a land consultant or due-diligence firm, we send them to partners we trust, on a non-exclusive basis
• Plain-language one-pagers and checklists you can hand your clients
• You stay in the loop on every client you introduce

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to commit to a minimum number of clients?

No. Introduce a client when it makes sense for them. There is no quota, no minimum commitment and no pressure.

What if my client wants to hire you directly in the future?

Once you introduce a client, that relationship stays yours. We never approach your clients directly. You stay in every conversation you want to be in, and the client hears that the work came through you.

What does my client get?

Every client you introduce gets a complimentary first read on their water and wastewater question, with no cap. If they want the answer in writing, a fixed-fee utility screen follows in 15 business days. It covers capacity, the CDPHE permitting pathway and a cost range. It is credited toward design if the client goes ahead with MES.

What is in it for my firm?

A client who closes. A faster due-diligence period. Content you can use with your clients. And our referrals back to you when our own clients need a land consultant or due-diligence firm.

What types of projects fit the program?

Any project where a water or wastewater question comes up:

• Utility feasibility studies for site acquisition
• Water and wastewater master planning for developments
• CDPHE permit applications and regulatory compliance
• Infrastructure design for subdivisions or commercial projects
• Capacity analysis for build-to-suit industrial clients

Do you work with consultants outside Colorado?

Yes. Colorado is a primary market. We are licensed in 9 states: CO, TX, CA, OK, NV, AZ, FL, KS and NM. If you have clients in those states, let’s talk.

We’re Not for Everyone

If you want the cheapest engineering stamp regardless of quality, we are not for you. The same is true if you want hourly billing with no accountability, or if “that’s how we’ve always done it” ends the conversation.

We are for land consultants who know utility uncertainty kills deals. We are for firms that value outcomes over hours billed and want an engineering partner that protects their reputation.

Ready to Answer Your Client’s Utility Question?

The next time a client asks about water capacity or sewer connections, you have two choices. You can say “you’ll need to hire an engineer for that” and send them away. Or you can introduce MES.

Your client gets a complimentary first read. The client relationship stays yours. Joining costs nothing, and the first client question shows whether the partnership works for your business.
