What RJ Behar & Company does

R.J. Behar & Company, Inc. is a privately held civil and transportation engineering consulting firm founded in 1999 and headquartered in Pembroke Pines, Florida. The firm provides six core engineering service lines — Transportation Engineering, Transportation Planning & Traffic Engineering, Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Water Resources/Environmental Engineering, and Construction Engineering Management & Inspection — supplemented by twelve specialized offerings including Traffic Impact Studies, Roadway Design, Bridge Design & Inspection, Stormwater & Drainage Infrastructure, Wastewater & Force Main Systems, and Water Control Structures. Service delivery relies on industry-standard engineering software (Synchro, CORSIM, TSIS, McTRANS HCS+T, TRAXPro, Cube 5, PETRAPro, TCU) rather than proprietary technology platforms, and the firm holds FDOT certifications across multiple engineering disciplines which function as a qualification prerequisite for state-level work.

The firm serves exclusively government and public-sector clients across South Florida, including FDOT Districts 4 and 6, the South Florida Water Management District (partner since 2000), Broward/Palm Beach/Miami-Dade county agencies, municipalities such as Pembroke Pines, Hialeah, Coconut Creek, Boca Raton, Miami Beach, and North Miami, and special districts including the School District of Palm Beach County. Operations are delivered through three regional offices — Pembroke Pines (Broward County, headquarters), Wellington (Palm Beach County), and Miami Lakes (Miami-Dade County) — covering the tri-county South Florida market. Notable long-tenure engagements include over 50 miles of city street improvements designed for the City of Hialeah since 2000 and a continuous partnership with the South Florida Water Management District since 2000.

R.J. Behar operates a project-based, quote-driven professional services revenue model where contracts are secured through competitive bidding and direct client relationships with government procurement offices. The firm is founder/principal-owned with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or M&A activity. Pricing is negotiated per contract and not publicly disclosed. The firm has accumulated multiple regional industry awards, including designation as a Top 25 Engineering Firm by the South Florida Business Journal, a Florida Tax Watch Award, and a 2023 Engineers Council & American Academy of Environmental Engineers & Scientists Award, which collectively support its credentials in competitive government procurement environments.

Direct peers

• Wantman Group (WGI): Florida-based multi-discipline engineering firm offering transportation, civil, structural, water resources, and environmental engineering to public-sector clients across the state. Directly comparable to R.J. Behar in service mix, client base (FDOT, municipalities), and Florida-centric geographic focus.
• Calvin, Giordano & Associates: Florida-headquartered engineering consulting firm providing transportation, traffic, civil, and water resources engineering to municipal and county governments. Closely matches R.J. Behar's South Florida client base and core service lines.
• BCC Engineering: Miami-based engineering firm specializing in transportation, traffic, structural, and construction engineering services for FDOT and South Florida municipalities. Same primary client roster and comparable service portfolio to R.J. Behar.

Broad incumbents

• Kimley-Horn: Large national consulting firm with a major Florida presence offering transportation planning, traffic engineering, civil, and water resources services to public and private clients. Overlaps with R.J. Behar's full service portfolio but operates at significantly greater scale and geographic breadth.
• Stantec: Global engineering, architecture, and environmental services firm with substantial South Florida operations in transportation, water, and community development. Competes for the same FDOT and municipal contracts as R.J. Behar but with broader service breadth and international scale.
• Tetra Tech: Global consulting and engineering firm with deep water, environmental, and transportation practices and active South Florida project work. Comparable to R.J. Behar's water resources and environmental engineering service line but at vastly larger scale.
• AECOM: Global infrastructure consulting firm with major Florida operations spanning transportation, water, and environmental engineering. Competes for large FDOT and municipal contracts that R.J. Behar also pursues, but offers full lifecycle capabilities far beyond the firm's current scope.
• Arcadis: Global design and engineering consultancy with water, transportation, and environmental practices active in Florida municipal and state infrastructure markets. Adjacent competitor for many of R.J. Behar's core service lines, with much larger resource base.
