Urban has emerged as a leader providing construction management and engineering services to the transportation, environmental, and urban development markets since its inception in 1960 in the City of Philadelphia. The vision of our founders, shared and enhanced by a new generation of ownership, carries us to great accomplishments and allows us to achieve, and often exceed, the goals of our assignments and the expectations of our clients.
Urban is a strong supporter of sustainable design and management efforts to create a harmonious built environment by reducing the use of non-renewable resources and minimizing environmental impact. We employ many LEED® AP credentialed professionals, offer in-house LEED training, and encourage environmental consciousness through such efforts as paper recycling, car share programs, and pretax deductions for transit fares. Urban's Estimating Practice has performed pricing for projects in various stages of design, from conceptual to final, with a range of costs from $1 million to $6 billion.
