Since the founding of Wallace Group in 1984, then known as John L. Wallace & Associates, we have focused on the personal side of business. Our company has built its reputation on integrity; the values of honesty, fairness, and reliability. That vision hasn’t changed, we work diligently to earn trusted and valued working relationships with our clients while we deliver quality services and work products for the communities we serve.

What has changed is our society’s need to constantly do more with less; we meet this need by maximizing value. Evolving science and regulation has now more than ever challenged our client’s ability to combine vision with cost effectiveness and sustainability. To meet this challenge Wallace Group is committed to being at the forefront of regulatory expertise and industry innovation to guide our clients as we provide services that meet their needs. We keep our edge by encouraging and supporting our staffs’ participation in industry research, on local task forces and involvement in the community as lecturers at the University level. We’ve also built a multi-disciplinary team that includes Civil & Transportation Engineering, Construction Management, GIS, Landscape Architecture, Mechanical Engineering, Planning, Public Works Administration, Right-of-Way, Surveying, and Water Resources. By combining our approach and these multiple specialties under one roof, we’re able to offer the value of comprehensive expertise to find sustainable project solutions. Our experts in planning, design and engineering work side-by-side to cost effectively solve complex challenges in simple yet elegant ways.

Quality applies to service and products; it begins with the ability to listen, envision and then correctly execute. At Wallace Group, we take our role as a service oriented client advocate very seriously. To be a great advocate we focus on listening well, team with the client to plan the work and have the right staff to get the job done correctly. And we consistently deliver quality in our projects from vision to reality. Quality is not an accident, we have the experienced staff to know how to deliver and we invest the effort to efficiently check our work … this is an extension of our value and our integrity.

OUR CORE VALUES

Our core values are the written expression of the values that guide us in everything we do. John Wallace first penned them on a flight during a business trip as he envisioned the staff and the legacy that he desired for our firm. On the first airline napkin within reach, he wrote the following values that still guide us today:

• Honesty, integrity, and fairness
• Mutual respect and dignity
• Quality service and products
• Commitment to contribute value through what we do
• With regard to people:
  We support one another in everything we do. We treat everyone fairly and respectfully—associates, clients and colleagues—and we empower our people to excel.

• With regard to work:

We have a passion for quality and excellence in our work, services and products. That dedication increases the value of our services to clients and the community. We provide satisfying, challenging work for our staff and by doing so, we effect positive change for our clients.

OUR LOGO

Our logo represents the diversity of Wallace Group and how our team works together with each other and with our surroundings in simple yet rich harmony. As one team of multiple disciplines and perspectives we find common ground and unity not only in our core values but also in the elements of the earth and water. This connection and the multi-disciplinary nature of our company inspired our logo as our company identity changed in 2004 from John L. Wallace Associates to Wallace Group.

Our logo demonstrates an abstract of the earth, water, and the layers of specialties exemplified by our team. The brilliant, deep red color was influenced by the richness of the earth’s soil.
