Landmark Engineering, Inc. Merges With V3 Companies

PHOENIX, AZ. January 3, 2006

Landmark Engineering, Inc. (LEI), now offers its premier civil engineering, surveying and land planning practice through V3 Companies, Ltd. (V3), bringing new opportunities to clients in Phoenix and Tucson. As of 2006, the two firms merged, which means clients of both firms will benefit from the coupling of Landmark’s premier staff and history in the region and V3’s back office capabilities and wide-ranging expertise.

The Landmark office becomes the third regional office for V3, adding to its current regional locations in Chicago and Denver. The combined companies create a workforce of 350 people with capabilities in all areas of land development, natural resources, and public infrastructure.

“In Landmark, V3 has found a firm with a corporate culture and client approach very similar to our own. That compatibility provides a great basis for successfully expanding both V3’s and Landmark’s presence in the Arizona market,” noted Rob Petroelje, CEO of V3 Companies.

James D. Lemon, President and Founder of Landmark Engineering and Managing Principal of V3/Landmark said, “We have found that V3 has the same commitment to client services, core values, and corporate culture that we embrace at Landmark. Given this close association with all those things that we hold important, together with an increased capacity for additional client services, we look forward to the positive impact this merger will have on our staff and the clients we serve.”
