Bowman Consulting
Bowman Consulting Group is a multi-disciplinary consulting firm offering real estate, energy, infrastructure, and environmental services to public and private clients across the country. Its work runs from large commercial developments and master-planned communities to local transportation projects.
Civil and site engineering is the core: site evaluation and design, stormwater management, erosion and sediment control, utility design, coordination and conflict analysis, permitting, and construction administration. Around it sit transportation planning and engineering for roadways, bridges, rail, and airports; structural engineering from conceptual design through construction administration; mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering; and fire protection and life safety, including code compliance, suppression and detection design, fire and smoke modeling, and forensic investigation.
Survey and geospatial work is a separate discipline group covering 3D laser scanning and LiDAR, aerial mapping and photogrammetry, bathymetric and hydrographic survey, and subsurface utility engineering, alongside landscape architecture and planning, construction management, energy design, EV charging, and sustainable buildings.
Bowman completed its initial public offering on May 11, 2021, raising $51.7 million, and trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker BWMN; its structural engineering group cites a team of over 1,000 professionals nationwide. Project examples include Snapdragon Stadium, a 98,000 square foot elementary school on 25 acres, a civil engineering relationship with Starbucks that began in 2013, and the 29.7 MWDC and 29.3 MWDC Temperance and Bingham solar projects in Michigan. The site publishes no fees and reaches offices through a state selector rather than a directory.
Best for
Developers, owners, and public agencies needing civil, survey, structural, MEP, or fire protection engineering from one firm on projects anywhere in the country. Less suited to owners who want a single local office relationship.
