McDowell & Associates is a Professional Engineering and Consulting company offering Geotechnical, Environmental, and Hydrogeological Services in addition to Construction Materials Testing and Inspection Services from offices in Ferndale and Midland, Michigan. Since being founded in 1978, our mission has been to provide our clients with practical solutions to real problems.
This approach requires clearly defining site characteristics and history, coupled with a thorough understanding of the client's objectives. The revenue that is expended on obtaining a clearer understanding of site conditions pertaining to environmental, hydrogeological and geotechnical characteristics, or for construction materials testing can be considered as an investment.

Services
In 1978, Bob McDowell founded McDowell & Associates as a geotechnical firm with a focus on heavy construction. McDowell has worked closely with industrial and commercial clients in Michigan, on various types of projects since our firm's founding. We have provided a full range of Environmental and Construction services to industrial, commercial and residential clients since 1978.
What makes our services different from other engineering and/or environmental consulting firms? Our answer would be our professional engineers' experience as well as that of our staff. On a daily basis, our engineers are looking at sites that may have environmental concerns, or geotechnical concerns, or construction material issues.
Our engineers are expert at determining the suitability of land for cost effective development. McDowell & Associates has extensive Geotechnical Engineering experience. We maintain a computerized index of every subsurface investigation made since 1978. The resulting database provides quick access to subsurface information throughout southeast Michigan and often allows for more cost effective solutions.
We are on the approved list of over 20 lending institutions including Bank One, Comerica Bank, Fifth Third Bank, GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation, The Huntington National Bank, National City Bank and First of America Bank. McDowell & Associates also provides Environmental Assessments to the U.S. Department of HUD, and Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA).
