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.

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!!!!

June 1, 2025It 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.
