What Bohler Engineering does

Bohler Engineering is a privately held, multidisciplinary land development consulting and site civil engineering firm founded in 1981 and headquartered in Warren, New Jersey. The company provides integrated services spanning site civil engineering, land surveying (including ALTA/NSPS, boundary, topographic, and specialized surveys), permitting and land entitlements (with dedicated NYC and Long Island permit expediting practices), program management for national rollout brands, planning and landscape architecture, and urban design. Bohler serves enterprise clients across more than a dozen market verticals including industrial development, healthcare systems, educational institutions, retail and mall developers, mission-critical/data center operators, life sciences and biomanufacturing, energy and renewable power, mixed-use and residential, public-sector and municipal work, and office/corporate.

The firm's underlying technology stack combines in-house Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS), Aerial LiDAR, Aerial Photogrammetry, and 3D building scanning with an integrated multidisciplinary delivery model that brings surveyors, civil engineers, landscape architects, permitting specialists, and urban designers onto a single engagement from project inception. Bohler operates from 35+ offices across the Eastern, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, and Midwest United States, with each regional office carrying local jurisdictional and municipal relationships — a structural advantage in entitlement-driven work.

Bohler's business model is professional services fee-for-engagement, with project-specific, quote-based pricing rather than disclosed rates or subscription products. The go-to-market is consultative and relationship-led, targeting enterprise developers, national retailers, healthcare systems, industrial operators, and municipalities through direct business development and dedicated vertical-market leaders (Principals and Directors for each sector). Marquee clients include Walmart, McDonald's, Amazon, Bayer, Canon U.S.A., MD Anderson Cancer Center, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and Hanwha Qcells. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the firm is founder-influenced, privately held, and has no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, or parent company.
