We diagnose the actual problem
Before we recommend a scope, we pressure-test what is really driving the risk — so you do not pay for work that does not move your project forward.
Geotechnical, Environmental & Construction Advisory
When a project gets complicated, we help you move forward.
Straterra is a principal-led geotechnical, environmental, and construction advisory firm across the Southeast.
The Fixers
We turn technical complexity into clear direction.
How we work
Driving decisions, not paper.
Three commitments that show up on every engagement.
We provide solutions your team can act on
Recommendations are specific — in your best interest.
We are ready when the conditions change
Subsurface surprises do not wait for the next billing cycle. A principal is on-call when crews are on the ground.
What we do
Engineering judgment when the ground gets complicated.
Geotechnical Engineering
Subsurface investigations and engineering analysis that turn unknowns into a clear path forward.
Environmental Consulting
Phase I and Phase II ESAs, remediation planning, and regulatory support that keep transactions and projects moving.
Construction Advisory
On-site engineering judgment when decisions can't wait.
Who we work with
Built for the teams making the call.
Protect your schedule and your pro forma.
We quantify subsurface and built risk, so you can underwrite with confidence.
A subconsultant who makes your design easier
Clean deliverables, on schedule, with recommendations your structural and civil teams can build on. We coordinate with your engineer of record — we do not compete with them.
Field decisions, the same day.
When the stakes are high, we are on site to solve problems in real time.
Why Straterra
Four reasons project teams keep calling us back.
- 01
Principal-led, every project
The engineer who scopes your work is the engineer who shows up on site and signs the report. No handoffs to staff you have never met.
- 02
Geotech + environmental, one team
Most firms make you hire two. We run both in parallel — fewer contracts, faster decisions, no finger-pointing when issues overlap.
- 03
Built for the Southeast
From the mountains to the Coast and everything in between, we have the project covered.
- 04
Responsive when it counts
You will have a principal cell phone.
