About FRA

FRA was founded in 1992 in an effort to break away from the more traditional, oftentimes pedantic business practices being followed by a majority of firms at the time. Since then, the company has grown to over eighty people with four major office locations and clients that are spread across the Eastern United States.

Originally established as a civil and structural engineering firm, the vision of FRA’s owners has enabled the firm to grow at an accelerated rate. FRA now offers civil, structural, transportation, building, site, and municipal engineering services, as well as professional planning and code compliance services. However, wherever opportunities exist, you can expect to find FRA already there.

Our visionary nature is balanced by our commitment to ensuring technical accuracy and practicality. It’s something we’re proud to be known for. Creativity is admirable, but only if it’s practical. Rest assured, FRA always looks to find the best solution to your particular project.

Some other things we think you should know about us:

• Our owners are actively involved in each of the jobs we work on, demonstrating FRA’s commitment to total client satisfaction.
• We seek work in our selected fields by honest representation of our prior experience and our sincere desire to serve our clients.
• Our strategy for acquiring new work is based on repeat business from existing clients who have expressed overall satisfaction with the quality and responsiveness of our services, as well as the selective addition of new long-term clients.
• For projects we manage that require specialized services not offered by FRA, we form partnering relationships with outstanding firms that share our business philosophies.
• We limit our company overhead to those items that are directly related to serving our clients and providing benefits to our employees.
• We believe that creating the proper work environment fosters energetic, motivated, responsible employees and helps us attract only the best people. We strive to hire and retain the industry’s top talent and want to be revered as “employer of choice.”

Speaking of our employees…

…they are dedicated, bright, and determined. Our people are committed to doing what is necessary to achieve success on each and every project they work on. To support that, FRA provides a working environment that encourages the most dedicated and devoted professionals to join our team and commit to long-term growth with our company. FRA knows that its business is only as strong as its people. Therefore, it empowers employees to make a difference and gives them a chance to influence – even shape – how the company is run. It’s no surprise that FRA’s voluntary turnover rate is less than 4%, and that most people who work here have been with the company since day one. When you help shape the company you work for, it’s much more enticing to stay.
