Chapman Technical Group

What Chapman Technical Group does

Chapman Technical Group is a full-service engineering, architectural, landscape architectural, and geospatial consulting firm headquartered in St. Albans, West Virginia, with additional offices in Buckhannon and Martinsburg. Founded in 1984 by Harvey R. Chapman, the firm delivers design services across transportation (highways, bridges, roadways such as WV Route 10 and Corridor H), water resources (treatment plants, wastewater systems including the $63 million Lewisburg and $37 million Elkins water projects), federal facilities (FCI Aliceville correctional campus at $188–196 million), military (C-130 hangar and B-1B bomber transition projects), and site development for federal, state, municipal, and private clients. Its service portfolio is organized into six practice areas: Engineering, Architecture, Geospatial/Surveying (LiDAR, photogrammetric mapping, GIS, GPS surveying), Landscape Architecture, Planning, and Sustainability/LEED.

The firm's geospatial practice is anchored by more than 45 specialists — including certified photogrammetrists, certified GIS professionals, LiDAR and mapping specialists, and a certified mapping scientist — enabling capabilities such as Mobile Terrestrial LiDAR Scanning, Stationary Terrestrial LiDAR Scanning, 3D mapping, digital orthophotography, and digital elevation modeling. The LEED practice includes accredited professionals across architecture, electrical, mechanical, structural, sanitary, and civil disciplines. Chapman has been recognized 44 consecutive years on the ENR Top 500 Design Firms list (through 2016) and has earned ACEC, AIA, ASLA, DBIA, and George Warren Fuller awards. Its NOAA program has completed airport obstruction surveys at 500+ airports across the contiguous United States.

Chapman Technical Group operates as a division of GRW, a Lexington, Kentucky-based A/E firm that acquired it in 2013. The combination provides access to 250+ professionals across Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee, and West Virginia. Revenue is generated through project-based professional services — design fees, construction-phase services, and consulting engagements — secured via competitive bidding on government contracts and direct client outreach, primarily through qualification-based selection. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined per project scope. Customer concentration is heavily skewed to government entities (federal, state, municipal) across transportation, water resources, justice, and defense sectors.
