NEI is a minority business enterprise (RI: MBE, MA: SOWMBA; RI MBE of the year, 2005). NEI was started by Kamal Hingorany, PE, PLS, and Bob Mastin, a local entrepreneur in Middletown RI in 1985. The firms were name was homage to the indigenous Native American tribes, the Narragansett. The second generation has now taken the reigns, with Neal Hingorany, MS, PLS officially becoming the firm's president in 2018. Throughout the planning, design, and construction process, NEI will navigate you through local and state regulatory agencies, explore green, low impact and environmentally conscious solutions, and most importantly provide efficient and practical designs solutions. We believe that good engineering is "cheap"; in other words, engineering is a small percentage of an overall projects cost, and good design can save more than twice its cost in design efficiencies. "poor" engineering or design could actually have a negative value, if it results in construction delays, or worse, if it results in lawsuits or penalties.Staff: Neal Hingorany, MS, PLS | Kamal Hingorany, P.E.
