Right of Way

Palmetto Engineering & Consulting offers all our clients Right-of-Way (ROW) services. Our staff collectively has more than a century of experience and has worked on thousands of ROW projects.

We believe the key to a successful ROW transaction is a cohesive relationship between the client and the property owner. Since each right-of-way transaction is unique, a tailor-made approach is necessary. For instance, when constructing a new facility, one tract of the land might be a family home site, another might be commercial property, or another may be a parcel of family farmland held for generations. Each project requires an experienced hand to manage the nuances that may arise.

We conduct negotiations with respect, professionalism, and efficiency throughout every step. Documentation is always handled with care and your privacy in mind. When a natural disaster strikes, we have the resources to help clients aid property owners in numerous ways, such as by providing payment for temporary layout yards for emergency-response units.

Constant contact and open communication help to create and sustain the trust necessary in projects involving something as personal as property. PEC has people with the understanding and experience to make a Right-of-Way transaction move … the … right … way.
