About Us

ABOUT US

Originally founded as a company called Lium and Burdick in the 1930s, Webster, Foster & Weston strives to serve our clients in municipalities and other governmental agencies. We also serve private clients, including architects, engineers, contractors, and others, with sound professional engineering principles and practices.

Our staff approaches projects of all sizes with objective, creative thinking while keeping our clients’ goals in mind. We recognize that our clients are the ones who will live with a project upon completion, which is why we believe they are best served by using creative and innovative products and procedures that minimize maintenance.

MISSION STATEMENT

To positively impact our community with engineering services that exceed expectations through teamwork and a passion for excellence.

CORE VALUES

Open Communication: We share information and ideas openly, honestly, and respectfully. We do not silo skills or information.

Focus on the Positive: We have a positive spirit and find good even in difficult circumstances and problems. We give others the benefit of the doubt since we do not have all the information and do not know everything that is going on in their life.

Honesty: We are honest with each other, with our clients, and with ourselves.

Trust: We trust our fellow team members and depend on each other.

Accountability: We are each responsible for our words, our actions, and our results.

Teamwork: We do everything for the betterment of the team first before considering our personal benefit. We achieve more when we collaborate and all work together.

Passion for Excellence: We strive not only to do what is required of us, but to go above and beyond for our clients and our fellow team members.

Growth: We have never truly mastered anything and are always learning new information and processes, growing professionally and personally, training fellow team members, and adapting to the ever-changing world around us.
