The Weekly Scoop!

We are excited to announce BG Consultants as our Member of the Month! Since opening their office right here in Smithville on W. Richardson Street, BG Consultants has become an integral part of our local business landscape, offering expert engineering, architecture, and surveying services. You may recognize their sidewalk design project that is under construction on Commercial Avenue from Smithville Schools to Downtown.

Led by Principal Jamie Cole, P.E., the Smithville team brings nearly 50 years of firm-wide experience to our community. They specialize in a multidisciplinary approach, meaning they can take a project from the initial survey and civil engineering all the way through to the final architectural design. Their work is all around us, helping to build and maintain the infrastructure that keeps our city running smoothly and looking its best.

What truly sets BG Consultants apart is their commitment to being a "neighborhood" firm with "big city" resources. They pride themselves on clear communication and building long-term relationships with their clients, ensuring that every project—no matter the size—is functional, cost-effective, and beneficial to the community.

Reach out to Jamie, 816-398-9177 or jamie.cole@bgcons.com if BG can assist you with your project.

We are so fortunate to have the talented professionals at BG Consultants as part of our Chamber family. Please join us in congratulating Jamie and the entire team on being named Member of the Month!
