Our Capabilities
Our Project Approach
Summit has utilized our innovative company philosophy to develop project data management systems that provide timely and cost-effective project results for our clients. Our project approach is not complicated; we implement an observational approach by applying the appropriate technologies with experienced personnel.
Summit has the ability and capacity to clearly understand the scope of projects, visualize and predict the direction of projects, while maintaining the client's point of view. Our staff has the competence to provide more accurate field data, in a shorter period of time, at costs consistently below our competitors.
Summit does not believe in the perpetual tasking and sub-tasking of every step in a project, which results in a larger project team, duplication of efforts, and increased project costs. Instead, we provide the level of support necessary combined with our technologies to complete specific project tasks in a timely and cost-effective manner.
We distinguish ourselves from other firms by utilizing the most experienced staff in the field, rather than sending entry-level staff. Where other firms primarily use CAD and spreadsheets to analyze and report data, Summit uses GIS and database tools that we built ourselves. The result is a high quality synthesis of project data that can be communicated to clients and regulators more efficiently at lower fees.
