Troyer Group

What Troyer Group does

Troyer Group is a multi-disciplinary architecture, engineering, and infrastructure design firm headquartered in Mishawaka, Indiana, with additional offices in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Grand Rapids, Michigan. Founded in 1971 by LeRoy Troyer as a building architecture practice, the firm has evolved into a community-centered infrastructure design organization operating three integrated service lines: Landscape Architecture & Planning (parks, trails, greenways, downtown streetscapes, campus design, and master planning), Civil Engineering & Transportation (site design, municipal infrastructure, stormwater management, multimodal corridors, and construction administration), and Network Services (fiber-to-the-home and broadband network design, including GIS tagging, pole loading analysis, permitting, and as-built documentation for BEAD-funded broadband expansion). The firm employs approximately 70 professionals and has completed 7,500+ projects for 1,700+ clients across 17 states, with particular depth in municipal, educational, and telecommunications verticals.

The firm's revenue model is project-based professional services: clients submit RFPs and receive custom quotes based on scope and complexity, with billing tied to project milestones and deliverables. Construction inspection and administration services extend engagement through implementation. Distinctive methodologies include the Composite Impact Drivers analysis framework for quantifying park investment ROI, the Dunes Creek daylighting approach for urban stream restoration (which earned the Indiana Governor's Award for Environmental Excellence), and the Digital + Analogue Planning Process combining statistical community surveys with in-person engagement. Since 2018, Troyer Group has operated as a subsidiary of Network Management Group (NMG), alongside DirectLine Communications and Pemberton-Davis Electric, enabling bundled infrastructure bids across design, fiber engineering, and electrical contracting.

The firm's go-to-market is relationship-driven and event-supported: direct sales engagement with municipal and institutional clients, dedicated RFP intake, and active thought leadership at conferences including ASLA, APA Indiana, IPRA Parks, and the Future Now Summit. Distribution is concentrated in the Midwest with selective national reach. The firm recently completed a values-based restructuring that explicitly de-prioritized volume growth in favor of impact-focused project selection, while simultaneously expanding its broadband design practice to capture federal BEAD infrastructure funding.
