If you’ve ever tried to look us up online and found yourself typing “Coleman Engineering” instead of “Colman Engineering,” you’re not alone. It's a common mistake!
So, let’s clear it up: We are Colman Engineering, not Coleman. No ‘e’ in the middle. Simple, right? Well, we know that muscle memory (and autocorrect) might disagree, so let’s have some fun with it.
Why Does This Happen?
First, “Coleman” is a common name and brand. It’s on camping gear, stoves, and even other engineering firms. Meanwhile, “Colman” is a bit rarer. Our name might not be on lanterns, but it is a famous mustard brand. It's also the first name of actor, playwright, and director Colman Domingo!
We’ve learned that just spelling it out for folks—“C-O-L-M-A-N”—isn’t enough. People still add the “e” when typing or writing it. So, over the years, we’ve tried different ways to explain it:
“Colman, without the e.”
“It’s like ‘Coldman’ but without the ‘d.’”
“It's like 'Cool-man' but with only one 'o'"
No matter how we say it, we still get mail addressed to “Coleman Engineering.” We get it—it’s a natural assumption!
The Bottom Line
At the end of the day, whether you type Colman or Coleman, we just want to make sure the right people—our clients, partners, and future team members—can find us. If you’re here looking for expert civil engineering, you’ve arrived at the right place, missing ‘e’ and all.
So, go ahead and type “Coleman Engineering” in your browser if you must. We’ll do our best to make sure you still end up at Colman Engineering—where the ‘e’ is missing, but the expertise is never lacking!
