Extra engineering capacity for the sites Resound just won funding for.
Resound and its partners picked up roughly $8M in the state's second WAEVCP round - more than 30 sites across King County Housing Authority, Seattle Housing Authority, and Greystar properties, plus four new public DC fast charging locations. That's on top of the 151 sites and $21.5M Resound already delivered in Round 1. Illumine-i sits behind Resound's estimators, electricians, and civil crews as overflow engineering capacity when design and permitting volume outpaces what an in-house team can turn.
EV Charging & Electrical Infrastructure - Scope Split
Resound keeps the client relationship, the install crews, and the funding navigation it's known for. Illumine-i sits behind it as overflow drafting and stamping capacity when the site count outpaces in-house design bandwidth - not instead of it.

Illumine-i bench
Engineering capacity that extends the team when a grant window, a new AHJ, or a volume spike puts more on the design queue than field crews can wait on.

WHERE THIS FITS
Three places the Round 2 award adds real engineering load
Each one traces back to what Resound has already published about the award - nothing here is inferred beyond that.
PROJECT CHALLENGE | IMPACT ON DELIVERY | ILLUMINE-I ADVANTAGE |
|---|---|---|
Cumulative volume beyond typical in-house bandwidth | Round 1 alone was 151 sites and $21.5 million. Round 2 adds 30+ more, concurrently — a load-calc, SLD, and permit paperwork volume that scales faster than a turnkey contractor typically staffs design seats. | Evolve generates 30% plan sets, BOMs, and SLDs in minutes so new scope doesn't sit waiting on a design hire. |
Fast charging outside the core service territory | The four public DC fast charging sites in Round 2 sit outside Resound's historic Seattle / King County base — new jurisdictions, new utility interconnection processes, unfamiliar permitting timelines. | 2,100+ EVCS projects across 50 states means AHJ patterns for these towns are likely already on file. |
Parallel permitting across housing authorities | Round 2 spans 16 King County Housing Authority sites, 11 Seattle Housing Authority sites, and 3 Greystar properties — all moving through design and permitting at once, each with its own AHJ and utility contact. | SLDs and permit packages run in parallel so field crews aren't waiting on drawings from a single design queue. |
