Team

Mr. Kelly had 42 years of construction experience specializing in the following areas of expertise:  Marketing, Contracts Negotiation, Construction Materials Testing & Inspection, and Structural Design & Inspections Project Management.
Throughout his construction career, he has consistently demonstrated a commitment to excellence and has steadily expanded his scope of work and responsibilities.  Mr. Kelly’s construction career began in 1979 when he was employed as a construction inspector by a nationwide geotechnical and materials firm.  His experience includes both laboratory and field testing and inspection of soils, deep and shallow foundation systems, cast-in-place concrete, precast/prestressed concrete, reinforcing steel, timber, masonry, bituminous concrete, roofing systems, and structural steel.   He was quickly assigned supervisory and quality control/project management positions for some of the larger construction projects in the Washington Area including Mobil Oil World Headquarters in Fairfax, IBM Federal Systems Division’s Semi-Conductor Manufacturing Plant in Manassas, Virginia, and White Marsh Mall in Baltimore County, Maryland.
In the spring of 1985, Mr. Kelly accepted a position as Contracts Officer with Meyer Consulting Engineers.  MCE at that time specialized in structural design, steel inspection, and occasionally functioned as the Prime Design Consultant for parking garage structures.  At the time of his hiring, approximately 98% of the firm’s commissions originated from speculative real estate developers.  Consistent with the operations of a small business engineering firm, Mr. Kelly’s responsibilities covered a wide range of responsibilities at MCE including hiring of new personnel, project management of design commissions, project management of inspection commissions, marketing, and supervision of the billing/invoicing process.   Mr. Kelly’s initial primary tasks were to organize MCE’s project histories into a coherent, usable marketing format.  This was accomplished utilizing Dbase software.   For both private and public sector marketing commissions, this procedure cut 65% of the labor effort needed to apply for new projects while providing enhanced quality for critical acquisition submissions.
At the time of Mr. Kelly’s initial employment at MCE, corporate procedure was to issue billing every two to three months.  By using the Dbase project organizational and marketing computer applications, Mr. Kelly changed the billing period to once a month, resulting in enhanced cash flow and better day to day project financial management of structural design and steel inspection commissions.  The organization of the firm’s project histories into standard computerized formats was consistent with the objective of obtaining direct federal and local government contracts for engineering work.   Prior to his employment at Meyer Consulting Engineers, the firm had never obtained any direct Federal or State of Maryland Contracts of note.  Using project histories and resumes developed in governmental type formats, Mr. Kelly began to apply for these commissions.  This effort was immediately successful.

Mr. Moran experience extended 38 years in the fields of structural, materials, and geotechnical engineering.   Prior to joining MCE  in 1979, he was the Division Manager of a nationwide geotechnical and materials engineering firm.  His unique background that encompasses three distinct engineering disciplines proved to be a valuable asset on many projects leading to the prompt resolution of the most difficult construction and design problems.
He is nationally recognized as an Expert Parking Consultant and completed over 500 parking commissions nationwide, including Value Engineering consultations.
His work has included new construction as well as structural repairs, renovations, modernizations, and additions.  Similarly, he functioned as the Prime Design Consultant for new and renovation construction, coordinating the work of multi-disciplinary A/E teams.
For new construction, his work encompassed independent, free standing structures housing as many as 2,000 vehicles, garages having associated multi-use (retail, commercial, office) areas and garages within structures of other primary use.  He has executed commissions in Historic Districts and was a member of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Mr. Meyer began his structural engineering career in 1961 upon his graduation from the Catholic University.  He first worked as a structural designer for Horatio Allison and became a principal in that firm (Allison-Meyer) in 1964.  In 1978, he started his own firm in Rockville, Maryland – first known as Meyer Associates and later as Meyer Consulting Engineers.
He had extensive experience in all phases of consulting structural and materials engineering including private, public and military sector projects.  In his distinguished 41-year career, he has successfully executed over 6,000 commissions nationwide and including foreign experience in the Commonwealth of Independent States, Guam, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Iceland.  His reputation for engineering excellence is such that he was selected to provide design consultation and inspect the 1989, 1993, & 1997 United States Presidential Inaugural Reviewing Stands and furnish specialized structural analysis of the New Air Force One Hangar at Andrews Air Force Base.
Other notable projects included Marriott’s Orlando World Center Resort in Florida, the 1,600 car Regent’s Parking Garage at the University of Maryland College Park, the 30-story Harborview Apartment Tower in Baltimore, the Air Rights Office Towers in Bethesda, the Willco Office Buildings in Rockville & Potomac, the Space Shuttle Enterprise Hangar at Dulles International Airport, the Forum Place government complex in Harrisburg, the million square foot Courtland Towers Apartments in Arlington and upgrades for Saint Matthew’s Catholic Cathedral in Washington.
