H2M Architects and Engineers

What H2M Architects and Engineers does

H2M Architects, Engineers, Land Surveying and Landscape Architecture, D.P.C. is a multi-disciplined professional consulting and design firm founded in 1933 and headquartered in Melville, New York. Operating as an employee-owned corporation, the firm employs nearly 600 professionals across offices in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Florida, delivering an integrated portfolio of 19+ service lines spanning architecture, interior design, civil/mechanical/electrical/plumbing/structural engineering, environmental services, GIS, landscape architecture, land surveying, construction services, and specialized practices in water/wastewater, drinking water (including PFAS/PFOA/1,4-dioxane treatment), solid waste, and forensic engineering. Its technology stack centers on Esri-based GIS capabilities, BIM integration, hydraulic modeling, energy modeling, LEED-certified sustainable design workflows, and 3D-printed building construction — the firm facilitated the first 3D-printed house in the United States to receive a building permit and certificate of occupancy.

H2M serves government, education, energy, water/wastewater, public safety, insurance, and private development clients through verticalized market teams (Education, Energy, Government, Drinking Water, Wastewater, Insurance, Libraries & Community Centers, Private Development, Public Safety). Revenue is generated through project-based professional fees, hourly billings, and retainer arrangements secured via RFPs, qualifications-based selection, and indefinite delivery contracts with public agencies including USPS, NYC Housing Authority, DASNY, and the Port Authority. The firm's go-to-market is relationship-driven and regionally concentrated: community-rooted client management in the Northeast supplemented by selective expansion into Florida and a national footprint for its forensic engineering division, which serves over 60 insurance carriers.

The firm is governed by a Board of Directors and led by President and CEO Richard W. Humann P.E., COO Joseph M. Mottola AIA, and CFO Jamie E. Pizzardi CPA, with senior Market Directors overseeing each vertical. H2M has been recognized as ENR New York's 2024 Design Firm of the Year, has earned ACEC Platinum and Diamond Awards, and in 2023 received the New York State Preservation Registry Historic Business Award in conjunction with its 90th anniversary. Annual charitable contributions exceed $350,000, and H2M has supported school districts in passing over $160 million in capital improvement bonds.
