WC³ Can Help

We Focus on Exceptional Service and Client Care

WC³ stands out in the building safety industry due to our company culture. Not only are our staff members experienced and knowledgeable, but we strive to go the extra mile to meet the needs of our jurisdictional clients and to assist permit applicants. It is our people that set us apart and we invite you to meet with our local staff to see how we can assist your jurisdiction.

Background & History

WC³ specializes in providing all-inclusive municipal consulting services to jurisdictions and government entities. We were founded in 2006 by Giyan Senaratne, P.E., S.E., LEED AP. What started as a simple operation assisting two jurisdictions from Mr. Senaratne’s kitchen table has now grown to multiple office locations servicing more than 300 clients.

From the beginning, our goal has been to act as an extension of the public agencies whom we serve. Our staff of over 150 employees is comprised of Structural Engineers, Civil Engineers, Electrical Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Fire Protection Engineers, Certified Fire Marshals, ICC Certified Building Officials, Certified Access Specialists (CASp), ICC Certified Plans Examiners, ICC Certified Building and Fire Inspectors, ICC Certified Permit Technicians and other professionals.

Keys to Our Approach

WC³ has always taken a reasonable, yet comprehensive, approach to providing the absolute best plan review, inspection and project management services. In addition to our approach, we have also crafted a development support style which requires a balance of (1) Expertise, (2) Good Judgment, (3) Qualifications, and (4) Technology. We believe that the four elements of our approach and style are a large part of what distiguishes us from others.

This experience combined with an extensive knowledge of the codes and their referenced standards, provides the ability to exercise good judgement when interpreting whether the intent of code has been met.
