Engineering with Integrity

INSPIRED LINES OF THINKING

We’re the behind-the-scenes experts who set the stage before you even step foot inside a building. We make facilities safe, operating systems efficient, and environments feel comfortable.

We are driven by the knowledge that our designs have provided comfortable hospitals, secure detention facilities, safe police and fire stations, schools and universities for our children to learn and grow, places to worship, and fun-filled vacation spots for families to enjoy.

INTEGRATED, INNOVATIVE ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS FOR ARCHITECTS, BUSINESS OWNERS, PRIVATE DEVELOPERS, COUNTY AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS

We are a multi-disciplinary engineering consulting firm specializing in building systems development for new construction and renovations. We offer full engineering services, all under one roof. Each discipline brings deep expertise in their craft, and strong coordination results in integration of building systems as a whole to ensure optimal facility performance within the overall building design.

Excellence, engineered

INTEGRATED SYSTEMS, ARCHITECTURALLY INFORMED SOLUTIONS

Collaboration is in our DNA. As a multidisciplinary firm, we work in the context of the other disciplines. We also work hand in hand with architects every day, so not only do we understand interconnectivity between engineering systems, we understand the implications on overall building design. Just moving a wall isn’t always, just moving a wall. Collaboration doesn’t stop with the design team, it extends to our trade partners as well.

It’s our key to project success.

WE’RE SO LUCKY WE GET TO WORK WITH OUR FRIENDS

Our team members are not just colleagues, but also friends who know how to balance hard work with fun times. We believe that when people enjoy the work they do and the people they work with, they are more creative, motivated, and productive.

Balanced APPROACH TO SUSTAINABILITY

We recognize the tremendous potential our industry has to combat climate change. We feel a deep sense of responsibility to contribute to this effort, and we believe that we are uniquely positioned to do so. However, we also understand that not every building needs to be LEED certified to make a positive impact.

We prioritize sustainable practices in all of our designs and strive to find the perfect balance between performance, efficiency, and environmental impact. Our expertise and experience allow us to design buildings that are sustainable, resilient, and high-performance, while also ensuring the safety, health, comfort, and productivity of the people who use them.

WHY HARWOOD?

Hear it straight from our clients.

“…your attention to detail to make sure the follow-up items were completed, as well as the as-built drawings, was impressive. We are very pleased with the outcome and want to thank you for your personal attention to making it happen.”

"I have been in building operations for over 20 years and it is not often that a project is completed with such ease. The design and detail of the drawings for the replacement system was very impressive to our staff and the electrical contractor as well."

"Soaky Mountain Waterpark was a $90,000,000 construction project with a 12-month construction schedule. We were within 2% of our original budget and met the overall project schedule. This would not have been achieved without Harwood Engineering’s dedicated team."

"Any job that starts well, ends well and Harwood, Tom Petersen in particular, will provide an intelligent design, good support and strong oversight. I strongly recommend them to any project team seeking to be successful. You will be hard pressed to do better."

"Harwood Engineering Consultants has consistently provided the City with a high-level of municipal and site civil engineering expertise. We have an excellent working relationship with Harwood’s staff, their communication is timely and responsive to the City’s needs."

"Harwood Engineering’s structural engineers bring experience and flexibility to the team. They offer helpful suggestions to the structural systems that simplify the plans and save costs for the project. And when the owner/developer changes the plan, they jump right in to work through the new design and maintain the schedule. We couldn’t ask for a better structural group to work with!"

“Harwood has been a partner with the City of New Berlin for several years on various mechanical projects. They always meet our needs.”

"Harwood Engineering Services provides Concordia University with all levels of Engineering services. If it is a new construction project, a remodel, storm water management, or simply a phone call to discuss questions I may have. I have always appreciated the valued partnership that Harwood Engineering Services and Concordia University share."

"From our first meeting, the Harwood team gave me confidence in bringing our unique Milwaukee regional facility build concepts to reality. They provided engineering solutions to our challenging location and soil conditions, allowing us to build a facility that sets us apart. We are extremely proud of our new facility and thank the Harwood team for their dedication.”

“From our very first meeting with Harwood they gave me the confidence that they could bring our unique Milwaukee regional facility build concepts to reality. From our challenging location and soil conditions to our extraordinary design features. We are extremely proud of our new facility and thank the Harwood team for all their dedication to supporting our build.”

"Working with Harwood on the Allspring project was a fantastic, collaborative experience. Their team, including Tom Olejniczak, Spencer Cook, Tom Petersen, and Scott Gemske, was prompt and thorough in addressing challenges like underground plumbing obstructions and mechanical system adjustments, all while maintaining Gensler's design intent. I highly recommend Harwood and look forward to partnering with them again!"
