Our verification notes
Their named senior coastal engineer's PE is confirmed by three sources independent of the firm. No CFM was found for him and none is claimed. The evidenced strength is coastal hydrology and hydraulics and resilience design; we found no source showing this firm signing floodproofing certificates, so it is presented as engineering capability rather than proven certificate work.
