What Our Clients Say

I have been working with Pioneer Engineering for nearly 15 years on behalf of financial institutions. They adhere to the agreed upon service levels, produce high quality and thorough reports, and allow for an open communication line regarding any particular project. They are very competent environmental consultants that we have come to rely on for our reporting needs.

Darren BrandtSenior Vice President – Real Estate Services, Wintrust Financial Corporation

We have been impressed with the professionalism and talents of the Pioneer staff. Not only do they help us make the right decision before we buy a property, they help us with the correct course of action during development and completion. Helping us identify the problems and proposing multiple solutions has been Pioneer's strength. I always feel the Pioneer team has our best interests in mind.

Thomas W. MeyerLexington Homes, LLC

We use Pioneer exclusively for the Phase I and II work on our contaminated sites, as well as the actual remediation work and closure, because they provided us with a single source responsible for the entire project. We were also impressed with the way they interacted with the Illinois EPA. Pioneer certainly knows its way around that bureaucracy and that helped our projects to proceed smoothly!

James PersinoPrincipal, First Development Corporation

The firm's geotechnical engineers consistently provide creative solutions that help minimize construction costs and I have found their entire technical staff to be extremely competent, resourceful, up-to-date on regulations and responsive. Simply speaking, they go the extra mile!

For 20 years, Pioneer has been my go-to consultant for due diligence and site remediation projects, as I found the firm's responsiveness, competitive pricing, ability to develop and implement cost-effective solutions, and report quality to be unmatched. The firm is unique in its understanding of the business end of my deals. They are a true value-add partner that delivers.

Pioneer is truly our right hand when it comes to developments with environmental issues. You have solved so many problems for us in ways that did not doom our developments. The highest compliment I can pay you is that you are knowledgeable, thoughtful and eminently fair. We would not use anyone else.

David BrintPrincipal, Brinshore Development

We have used Pioneer many times over the years on Phase I, Phase II, NFR and other environmental consulting work. We have always found their advice to be practical yet protecting, their service extremely responsive and their pricing fair. We wouldn’t hesitate to continue to use them as a preferred vendor in the future or recommend them to other users of environmental consulting services.

Pioneer is our #1 go to team for pre-marketing diligence activities (Phase I, II, Geotech) for all of our land development sites we sell. Pioneer has always delivered the highest quality service on time and on budget.
