Practical Engineering Solutions

Serving commercial, industrial, residential, and municipal clients across a range of industries

At Sevee & Maher Engineers (SME), formerly Bono Consulting, we provide civil and environmental engineering services built on proven concepts, innovative technologies, and decades of real-world experience. Today, SME now offers a robust, broad portfolio of multidisciplinary solutions in markets across the country.

We put the client first – you can always count on the value we deliver through high-quality and on-time work at competitive rates. Our SME team includes more than 130 engineers, geologists, hydrogeologists, chemists, scientists, surveyors, industrial hygienists, technicians and administrative staff. Our background and experience mean we’ll give your project the personal attention it deserves.

From residential civil engineering to large-scale power and utility projects – whether you’re concerned with engineering design and permitting, environmental due diligence, or water resources services – SME draws on years of experience and a deep bench of expertise to deliver results on time and on budget.


In 2022, following a strategic partnership, Bono Consulting, Inc. was acquired by SME, a multi-disciplinary firm operating nationwide. The acquisition extended the depth and range of services Bono Consulting can offer our clients in the greater Chicago area and other regions of the country. It also enhances SME’s presence in the Midwest, providing the group with a strengthened platform to strategically grow its business by offering its full range of services to more clients nationwide.
