Erdman Anthony

What Erdman Anthony does

Erdman Anthony is a privately held, multidisciplinary engineering consulting firm founded in 1954 and headquartered in Rochester, NY with eight offices across New York, Pennsylvania, Florida, Maryland, and Virginia. The firm delivers engineering, surveying, and construction services spanning facilities/MEP design, civil engineering, transportation and bridge engineering, geospatial surveying (including 3D laser scanning/LiDAR), construction inspection and administration, commissioning, and energy modeling. Service delivery is project-based, with projects ranging from small municipal assignments to flagship infrastructure programs such as the $329M I-95 CAP construction inspection for PennDOT District 6-0 and the $135M U.S. 22/322 Lewistown Narrows Widening for PennDOT District 2-0. Technical differentiators include advanced LiDAR-based geospatial workflows, energy-analysis integration with NYSERDA's Commercial New Construction Program, and a turtle-friendly lighting design adopted statewide by the Florida Department of Transportation. The firm is privately held with no disclosed institutional, private-equity, or venture-capital ownership and operates from a 251–500 employee base.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward state Departments of Transportation — PennDOT (multiple districts), NYSDOT, FDOT — plus state agencies including NYSERDA, the State University Construction Fund, and the South Florida Water Management District. Revenue is generated through professional-services fees on multi-year project contracts awarded primarily via competitive RFQ/RFP processes for government work and direct engagement for private industry clients including Ahold Delhaize (Stop & Shop), SUNY campuses, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, and Cayuga Medical Center. Growth has combined organic geographic expansion (Harrisburg 1955, West Palm Beach 2004, Pittsburgh 2009) with acquisition activity, most notably the October 2021 acquisition of Dwyer Engineering to extend MEP capabilities into Virginia and Maryland. The firm holds multiple ACEC state and national engineering excellence awards and was named an ENR Top Design Firm for 2026.
