About Ballard Travelstead
Ballard Travelstead Engineering, PLLC is an electrical engineering firm based in Calvert City, Kentucky that focuses on partnering with its clients to deliver a variety of electrical engineering and related support services. Our business model is centered around long-term relationships – an extension of the clients’ staff.
We were founded on the belief that a small and focused engineering firm is substantially more efficient than large company with many diverse interests. Our employee base is intentionally lean minimizing unnecessary management and support staff. Our priority is not to increase our project base, but instead to develop long-term relationships with a core group of clients. It is with this focus and dedication that we can provide high-quality, cost-effective services. We intend to grow only as the needs of our clients expand, and even then, with caution. Because we are not governed by stockholders or a board of directors, we don’t have lofty sales and growth goals. Our growth is built around the needs of the clients. By dedicating ourselves to satisfying our customers and properly taking care of our employees, we believe we will find success. Through partnerships with other small engineering firms, we are able to complete a wide range of projects.
We operate with very little overhead and are therefore able to pass along that savings directly to our customers. We offer a task-based billing structure, in which our rates are billed by the task being done and not the job title of the employee.
