JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Dec. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — PRIME AE Group, Inc. (PRIME AE), a Platform Holdings managed company, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Faller, Davis & Associates, Inc. (FDA), a respected Florida-based consulting civil engineering firm renowned for its expertise in transportation design, operations, planning, and environmental services. This strategic acquisition strengthens PRIME AE’s presence across the Southeast and enhances our ability to deliver comprehensive infrastructure solutions to public-sector clients throughout Florida, further reflecting our commitment to making everything around us better.

Founded in Tampa in 1985, FDA offers deep regional expertise spanning complex highway, drainage, and traffic engineering; environmental permitting and compliance; wildlife surveys; construction and maintenance management; traffic operations; safety studies; and signal retiming. With offices in Tampa and Maitland, FDA is led by a skilled team of engineers, scientists, and professionals recognized for their commitment to quality and responsive client service.

“We are excited to welcome FDA to the PRIME AE team,” said Caitlin Breland, VP of Transportation – Southeast at PRIME AE. “This acquisition broadens our footprint in Florida and strengthens our ability to deliver high-quality solutions in new geographies. Both firms share a culture of collaboration, excellence, and unwavering client focus. Our teams have served many of the same clients and partners, and this integration will allow us to connect easily and share resources seamlessly. FDA brings technical depth and complementary strengths that will enable us to pursue larger and more innovative projects as one unified team.”

By incorporating FDA’s comprehensive service offerings—including highway widening and signalization, environmental permitting, and operational improvements—PRIME AE advances its strategy of establishing regional hubs of excellence that support every phase of the project lifecycle. In Florida, this means increased capacity and an expanded resource base for state and municipal agency clients, continued responsiveness to local needs, and enhanced collaboration across the Gulf Coast and I-4 corridor.

This acquisition marks PRIME AE’s third in Florida over the past three years and the firm’s seventh acquisition overall within the last five years, reflecting our ongoing commitment to growth and innovation.
