What Buehrer Group Architecture & Engineering does

Buehrer Group Architecture & Engineering, Inc. is a privately held, integrated architecture and engineering firm headquartered in Maumee, Ohio, operating from the LEED Gold-certified historic Henfling Building. Founded in the early 2000s, the firm provides comprehensive in-house services spanning architectural design, structural engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, interior design, technology design, sustainable/LEED-certified design, pre-design services, feasibility studies, and construction administration. Its team of approximately 20 credentialed professionals holds AIA, PE, NCARB, SECB, IIDA, and LEED AP credentials across disciplines, with the majority of staff holding LEED accreditations and the firm maintaining U.S. Green Building Council membership.

The firm serves four primary client verticals: Education (K-12 districts, community colleges, and universities); Civic and Cultural (libraries, museums, visitor centers, and nonprofits); Municipal (fire stations, government offices, maintenance facilities, and military installations); and Commercial/Retail (medical offices, restaurants, fitness centers, and professional offices). Documented projects include LEED Gold-certified Buckeye Central K-12 School ($23.3M), Wynford Local Schools 6-12 Building ($21.2M), Owens Community College Health Education Center ($22M adaptive reuse), Toledo Zoo Museum of Natural History redevelopment ($27M), and multiple Ohio Department of Natural Resources visitor centers. The portfolio exceeds $150M in documented construction value, concentrated in Ohio and the broader Midwest region.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services fees, with engagements quoted per-project based on scope, complexity, and client requirements rather than disclosed standardized pricing. The firm markets primarily through its website portfolio, AIA Toledo and Ohio Masonry Association award recognition, and established referral relationships with educational institutions, government agencies, and commercial clients in its regional market. Leadership is concentrated in the Buehrer family (President Kent Buehrer, Vice President Brent Buehrer) alongside partner Christopher Gaffney and Treasurer Sam Muhsen, suggesting a closely held ownership structure with no disclosed external investment or parent company.
