The Founding

CCE was founded by Frank Cater, PE, and Wade Parker and opened its doors for business January 5, 2015, providing electrical consulting, engineering, and design.

Frank founded CRS Engineering, Inc. in 1975 and developed it into one of the largest consulting firms in Alabama offering electrical, mechanical, plumbing and fire protection, engineering, and design services throughout the Southeast.

In 1999 Wade Parker joined Frank and CRS Engineering after spending 10 years at McMullen Engineering in Columbus, OH as a project manager and lead electrical designer.

Frank and Wade saw a need for more personalized electrical engineering services for owners and architects with a focus on being a team player with all involved in the design and construction process.

We work with our clients analyzing the building owners needs while working through the design process and construction.

We believe the team should consist of the owner, designer, and builder. All team members are important and have a critical role in successful project completion.

Our role is to provide complete, accurate and coordinated construction documents, on time. This requires knowledge of the client’s needs and cooperation and coordination with other design team members. During construction, we provide support to the client ensuring information required for construction is provided and contractor’s questions are answered in a timely manner to keep the construction process moving toward completion on schedule.
