Pierce Engineers is a structural engineering firm based in the Midwest, working with clients across the nation. Our three offices in Milwaukee, Madison, and Chicago work as one team with daily interaction and coordination on technical topics, projects, and management.
The PE team has a traditional hierarchy of positions and roles, but we work horizontally fostering engagement from all levels of experience to create a successful team and develop our younger staff.
Our practice is founded on building lasting relationships with clients and industry partners, who appreciate our teamwork and cost-focused approach to structural engineering.
While our experience and expertise touch all types of building projects, we find that the best projects are the ones where the team works in a collaborative approach to deliver a successful project.
Each project is unique – a custom solution for a particular set of conditions – but our approach is consistent: to deliver quality work in a responsive manner while incorporating the architectural vision, the owner’s budget, and coordinating with the contractor to ensure a smooth construction project.
Our 30 years of experience has shown that early involvement by our team as the project is taking shape can effectively drive decision-making and efficiencies that lead to cost savings and a streamlined design process. This experience and ongoing communication between the design and construction teams provides a smooth construction process resulting in successful projects.
