It would take dedicated power shoppers months to visit all the retail sites SME has had a hand in developing in Michigan. You could start at Somerset North and South in Troy, then head to Great Lakes Crossing in Auburn Hills, or up to Woodland Mall in Grand Rapids or Midland Mall in Midland.

If home improvement is more your style, check out the big box folks like Home Depot and Lowe's — we've done work in over 60 locations. Need new technology toys or office supplies? Stop by Best Buy or Circuit City or Office Depot or Office Max. Hungry yet? Visit food chain giants like Kroger and Farmer Jack or run to Burger King.

And don't forget to stock up on vitamins at Rite Aid or CVS or Walgreens. We know how to penetrate the market fast. SME provided turnkey consulting engineering services to Rite Aid for store development in 50 cities across the state. If your car dies along the way, head to one of several AutoZone sites we helped develop.

We're proud our geotechnical work has anchored the anchors — Neiman Marcus, Marshall Field's, Lord & Taylor, Target, Kmart, Kohl's, Wal-Mart — at major retail power centers. Leading retail developers like Ramco-Gershenson, Schostak Brothers, The Taubman Company and Agree Realty Corporation count on SME's technical expertise, attention to detail and seamless service. National developers have even asked us to manage geotechnical evaluations and conduct peer reviews of geotechnical work in several states across the country.

We know what it takes to demolish an old store and replace it with a new upscale retailer. Or clear — and remediate — an industrial site in preparation for a big box retailer. Whatever the end use, we'll ease the transition from developer to owner.

So, if one-stop shopping appeals to you, come to SME. We can handle everything from environmental site assessments to hazardous materials consulting, from property condition assessments to geotechnical evaluations, from constructability reviews to due care plans, from pavement engineering design and management to roof consulting.

We even do windows!
