“I have known Bobby since he was the City of Rocky Mount engineer, and have used him professionally since he began Appian and has handled numerous development projects of mine for over 30 years.  His firm is professional, timely, and efficient. He recently saved me in a tenuous situation in which a bulkhead was failing and jeopardizing a $150,000 chilling tower. He dropped everything and gave me design and pricing options, executed the contracts, and handled all permitting with four different agencies.
