JBA Consulting Engineers, an NV5 company

What JBA Consulting Engineers, an NV5 company does

JBA Consulting Engineers is an international engineering consulting firm founded in 1966 and headquartered in Las Vegas, NV. Since 2016 it has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of NV5 Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: NVEE), and has since been fully rebranded under the NV5 brand while continuing to deliver its specialized building engineering services. The firm provides technical engineering expertise for commercial building projects across a portfolio of disciplines that includes acoustics, audiovisual design, electrical, mechanical and plumbing (MEP) engineering, fire protection and life safety, information and communications technology design, security and surveillance, energy monitoring and management, sustainable design and LEED certification, code consulting, and master planning. Its primary customer base is the hospitality and gaming sector, with secondary exposure to education, healthcare, transportation, entertainment, retail and cultural-institution projects.

The firm operates a B2B professional services model, generating revenue through project-based consulting engagements delivered by what it markets as "Trusted Advisors™." Pricing is project-specific and quote-based, with no published rates. Geographic coverage spans ten office locations: Las Vegas (headquarters), Irvine, Los Angeles, Boston, New York, Orlando, Phoenix and New Orleans in the United States, plus Hong Kong and Macau in Asia. This footprint supports the firm's positioning in integrated resort developments on both the Las Vegas Strip and the Macau Cotai corridor, with named engagements including MGM Cotai, Wynn Las Vegas, Wynn Palace, Zappos Headquarters, McCarran International Airport Terminal 3, Linq Hotel and Casino, Mirage Volcano Lagoon, City of Dreams Macau, SLS Hotel and Casino, ASU Beus Center for Law and Society, Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center and the National WWII Museum.

JBA is a service-based consulting practice rather than a software or product company, and the input data does not disclose any proprietary AI/ML capability, patents, or software platforms. Its "cutting-edge technology" positioning centers on engineering simulation tools, BIM/CAD workflows, sustainable design practices and mastery of international building codes and standards. As part of NV5's 100+ office network, JBA benefits from cross-sell into adjacent NV5 service lines — infrastructure support, geospatial, mission critical / data center, clean energy, commissioning and digital buildings — extending its addressable market beyond the original hospitality/gaming core.
