LEARN ABOUT BOWMAN
(Formerly Trudell Consulting Engineers)

At Bowman we work collaboratively to help our clients succeed.

Who is Bowman (formerly TCE)?

Bowman, formerly Trudell Consulting Engineers (TCE), is a multi-disciplinary consulting firm delivering innovative solutions at both the local and national levels.

With deep roots in Vermont and decades of experience as TCE, our team is now part of Bowman, giving clients access to expanded resources, expertise, and reach. We continue to serve communities across the country while maintaining the same local commitment and personalized service that defined us from the beginning.

Our services include site/civil engineering, environmental, landscape architecture, and land surveying for a wide variety of clients. From individual homeowners to municipalities and large corporations, we partner with clients across both the public and private sectors.

Originally founded in 1975, TCE grew steadily by helping clients navigate the challenges of an evolving economy and increasingly complex regulatory environment. Our mission has always been to guide projects from concept through construction, ensuring every client achieves their goals.

In May 2022, TCE consolidated operations with Lamoureux & Dickinson Consulting Engineers, another highly respected Vermont civil engineering firm established in 1985.

Most recently, on February 5, 2024, Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. (NASDAQ: BWMN) acquired Trudell Consulting Engineers and VT Underground Locators.

Our Core Values

Strength, Dedication, Collaboration, Time Management, Responsiveness

Strength

Our strengths are staff and longevity. As a services company, the key to our success continues to be the experience and expertise of our professional staff. We can draw on our 50+ years of experience to assist with developing effective solutions for new projects. Strength comes also from our staff itself, who as working Vermonters, embrace family values, wellness, and seek to enjoy a healthier and more productive lifestyle.

Dedication

Our staff is dedicated to the success of our clients and their own professional development. This is a hallmark of Bowman (formerly TCE) and we continue to look for new ways to deliver our services efficiently with the best interest of our clients in mind. Our dedication to the client is best exemplified in our ability to foresee and eliminate roadblocks in the design or permitting process. We also seek to improve ourselves individually and as a firm through continuing education, and constant evaluation of our internal processes.

Collaboration

We are a team oriented company. Our staff’s diversity and flexibility helps us to collaborate and adjust to the changing demands of the project. We also strive to collaborate with the client and other members of the design team, the public, and the regulatory community in order to achieve the project goals. We use one simple strategy to do this…communication.

Time

Time is money, and our staff is well aware of this old adage. We continually work with our clients on project schedules and recognize the importance of time in a project’s success. While many factors may be out of our control, we strive to do our best at meeting project deadlines and communicating with our clients as things change. We routinely look at the way we deliver our services and seek to become more efficient every day. We invest in, and utilize, technology in our workplace to increase our efficiency. We also believe in continuing education as a way to find new solutions.

Responsive

We are responsive to our clients in a variety of ways. We recognize the importance of communicating regularly with the client and responding to their changing needs as a project evolves. Whether the project is large or small, Bowman (formerly TCE) works to provide the quickest response we can. In many cases, we take out the complexity in order to streamline the work, and find the best solution to a problem.

Clients We Work With

Meeting our client’s needs, on time and on budget, is the foundation of our business and drives the decisions and actions we take on a daily basis.
