The OHM Difference
Service, Attention and Involvement
Each community is partnered with a team of engineers, including a principal, to establish long-term relationships, understand the community’s infrastructure and execute our client’s vision, needs and goals.

At OHM, our mission is Helping Build Better Communities for Tomorrow. One of the best ways that we can fulfill our mission is by being involved in the communities we serve. Whether it’s working at the Boys & Girls Club annual fundraiser, cleaning up the Huron River or planting flowers for a community pride day, our staff is an active, visible member of the community.

After all, it’s our backyard, too.

Planning & Funding
Before engineering begins, we work side by side with community leaders to plan capital programs and secure funding for projects.  From crafting millage ballot language, to writing grant and low-interest loan applications, we understand funding sources and administration requirements.

Every year, we write, obtain, or administer 35 to 50 grant, loan, or other federal/state funding sources.  This equates to $25,000,000 to $45,000,000 of infrastructure constructed any given year.
