What Bergmann does

Bergmann is an architecture, engineering, and planning firm founded in 1980 and headquartered in Rochester, NY. The firm delivers professional services across building design, infrastructure engineering, and planning to enterprise and public-sector clients in the United States, operating through divisions such as Buildings (led by Andrew Raus as Division Director) and Infrastructure (led by Richard Chelotti as Division Director). The business is services-based: revenue is generated through project-based fees for architectural and engineering engagements, with customer-segment exposure concentrated in mid-to-large clients requiring licensed design and engineering work.

The firm pursued inorganic growth prior to its exit, acquiring William Taylor Architects in May 2019 and Johnsrud Architects in October 2019 to extend its architectural capability. In November 2021, Bergmann was acquired by Colliers Engineering & Design, the U.S. engineering platform of Colliers (NASDAQ: CIGI), and on September 5, 2023 the brand was retired and the firm was fully absorbed into Colliers Engineering & Design, giving the practice a nationwide service-delivery footprint and central engineering functions.

Following rebrand, Bergmann no longer operates as an independent branded entity; its people, projects, and pipeline are reported through Colliers Engineering & Design. The underlying technology stack is conventional professional-services tooling (CAD/BIM and project management systems typical of mid-sized U.S. AE firms), and the firm does not publicly disclose pricing, customer-level revenue, or backlog. No AI/ML capabilities, proprietary platforms, or differentiated technology assets are disclosed in the input.
