What Bayer Becker does

Bayer Becker is a privately held, multidisciplinary land development design and engineering firm headquartered in Ft. Mitchell, Kentucky, with primary operations based in Mason, Ohio. Founded in 1967, the firm employs 92 people across five offices in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, serving government municipalities, healthcare systems, educational institutions, and private developers. Its core business is fee-for-service professional consulting, delivered through seven integrated service lines: Planning, Surveying, Geovisualization, Civil Engineering, Transportation Engineering, Landscape Architecture, and Construction Administration.

The firm operates on a project-based professional services model, with revenue generated through proposal-driven engagements secured via direct sales, RFQ/RFP processes, and long-term client relationships. Engagement sizes range from mid-scale municipal and campus projects (e.g., $3.5M Ziegler Park expansion, DAV's 66,000 SF headquarters) to multi-decade master-planned developments (e.g., River's Pointe Estates, a $1 billion, 336-acre, 864-unit community planned over 15-20 years with Toebben Ltd.). Customers are diversified across healthcare (Cincinnati Children's, Christ Hospital), higher education (Miami University, University of Dayton), municipal government (City of Cincinnati, City of Cold Spring), and private development (Steiner + Associates, Silverman & Co.), reducing dependency on any single vertical.

Underlying technology consists of mainstream AEC productivity tools — Civil 3D for design, GPS and robotic surveying instruments, sUAS/drone systems for mapping of large sites (40+ acre stockpiles, 220-acre landfills), and 3D laser scanning for site documentation and volume calculations. These tools are positioned as efficiency and accuracy enhancers rather than autonomous or AI-driven systems. The firm leverages its 50-year-plus regional tenure and tri-state regulatory prequalifications (ODOT, KYTC, INDOT) as primary competitive differentiators, supplemented by formal partnerships with Duke Energy, BE NKY Growth Partnership, and REDI Cincinnati for industrial site readiness work.
