America's hub for consulting engineering specialties.
Consulting engineering is the advisory branch of the profession — the engineers owners, counsel, insurers, and project teams call when they need an independent opinion, a peer review of a contested design, expert testimony in a dispute, due diligence on an acquisition, or owner's representation on a complex capital program.
The discipline spans management consulting, design and peer review, forensic investigation, sustainability and energy advisory, structural and industrial specialty consulting, and a long tail of independent P.E.s offering domain expertise no in-house team can match.

Frequently asked questions
What is consulting engineering?+
Consulting engineering provides independent technical advice on a project-by-project basis — design review, peer review, due diligence, expert testimony, owner's representation, forensic investigation, and specialty domain expertise — without acting as engineer-of-record on full design delivery.
What are the main consulting engineering subdisciplines?+
The discipline organizes into management/owner's-rep consulting, design and peer review, forensic engineering and expert witness, sustainability and energy advisory, structural and industrial consulting, and independent specialty P.E.s.
Do consulting engineers need a P.E. license?+
For any signed opinion, sealed report, expert testimony, or engineer-of-record scope, yes — licensed in the state where the project sits or the case is heard. Pure advisory work without seals can be performed by experienced non-licensed engineers, but most clients still require a P.E.
How much do consulting engineers charge?+
Independent senior P.E. consultants typically bill $200–$500/hour. Boutique consulting firms run $250–$600/hour blended. Large advisory practices structure programmatic engagements in the hundreds of thousands to millions.
