What Woolpert does

Woolpert is a privately held global architecture, engineering, and geospatial (AEG) professional services firm founded in 1911 in Dayton, Ohio and now operating from more than 75 offices across five continents with over 3,200 employees. The firm organizes delivery around five integrated solution lines — Architecture, Engineering, Geospatial, Data and Technology, and Planning and Consulting — applied across nine industry verticals including Aviation, Data Centers and Advanced Manufacturing, Defense, Maritime, National Governments, Surface Transportation, Cities and Places, Corporate and Institutional, and Water/Energy/Resources. Core technical capabilities include BIM and digital-twin workflows, advanced sensor development, lidar and mobile mapping, hydrographic surveying, GIS implementations on Esri ArcGIS, and the proprietary CAMACloud mass appraisal and Terevue analytics platforms.

Woolpert generates revenue primarily through project-based and contract-based professional services engagements with both public-sector clients (NOAA, USACE, USGS, GSA, U.S. Air Force AFSOC, U.S. Army, U.S. Coast Guard, multiple state DOTs, and local governments across the U.S., Ireland, the UK, Australia and Singapore) and private-sector clients (Meta, Equinix, Digital Realty, NEXTDC, VantageDC, Southwest Airlines, CDOT, Coca-Cola, Amazon, DHL, BBC, and healthcare systems such as Orlando Health and Broward Health). Recurring SaaS-style revenue is generated through CAMACloud (mass appraisal for counties and municipalities) and Terevue (lidar analytics for oil and gas), while large multi-year federal contracts — exemplified by the two-year, $49.9 million USACE I-ATLAS contract awarded in March 2026 — anchor predictable enterprise work.

The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales led by sector-aligned executive leadership (EVP Buildings, EVP Infrastructure, EVP Europe, EVP Global Operations) and a Chief Growth Officer, supported by a dedicated government affairs function in Washington, D.C. Sales channels include pre-vetted federal contracting vehicles, an ArcGIS Marketplace listing, and a QuestCDN-hosted Project Bids portal; channel partnerships with Esri (Gold Partner since 2020), Google (Premier Partner), and Trimble (20+ year alliance) amplify reach. Woolpert has executed more than fifteen acquisitions since 2019, expanding its geographic footprint into Europe (SNHA, Murphy Geospatial, Bluesky International, UMC Architects), Asia-Pacific (AAM, Greenbox), and Africa (Southern Mapping), and growing revenue from roughly $650 million in FY2024 to more than $750 million in FY2025, with the company ranked #36 on ENR's Top 500 Design Firms for 2026.
