Cory is a true professional. He is articulate, smart and thoughtful. He was very helpful in helping me decide on how I should improve my seawall. I would highly recommend.
Cory with FWE was an absolute pleasure to work with. I had to permit a dock and lift after the fact and Cory made it stress free and seamless. Him and his team of permit expediters were extremely knowledgeable of the process. 10/10 would highly recommend.
Cory Nelson is a very smart engineer, who solved a marine dock issue that I had, with accuracy in calculating the exact numbers, to pass the strict city of Fort Myers inspections. I was extremely happy with his expertise, honesty and dedication to his work! I highly recommend him to my family, friends and everyone who needs an Honest and Smart Engineer!!!!
Cory was fantastic. Drew my plans in a timely manner and was quick with communication. He went above and beyond with helping find a contractor.
I strongly recommend Florida Waterway Engineering. Not only Cory was a great professional, but he is a great person with whom to work. Additionally, he has been helpful going the extra mile when necessary. It is my hope that Cory is successful in his business… I can’t imagine otherwise. Until next project Cory!
I worked with Cory. He is a knowledgeable and reliable engineer and I strongly recommend him.
It was a pleasure working with Cory - I typically refrain from providing personal recommendations as it places me in a challenging position- But when you work with someone that is great- I feel I must thank and praise him as an engineer for my seawall report. It was truly a pleasure working with Cory. I highly recommend Cory as an engineer for all your waterway engineering needs.
