MartinRiley

What MartinRiley does

MartinRiley is a private, full-service architecture and engineering firm founded in 1986 by Victor Martin and John Riley, headquartered in Fort Wayne, Indiana, with a regional office in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The firm operates as an integrated multi-disciplinary practice offering eight core service lines: Architecture, Historic Preservation, Interior Design, Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, M/E/P Engineering, Building Envelope, and A&E Technologies. Its professional staff is licensed across 33 U.S. states and 1 Canadian province through NCARB and NCEES reciprocity, enabling cross-state project delivery from a two-office base.

The firm's technology platform centers on Business Information Modeling (BIM), which it applies to 100% of its projects, an early adoption position it highlights as a regional first. The A&E Technologies practice layers complementary capabilities onto BIM, including 3D laser scanning for as-built data collection, drone photography and videography, infrared thermal imaging for building envelope assessment, 3D model printing for stakeholder engagement, and high-quality 3D rendering. The Building Envelope practice is positioned as a differentiator, addressing what the firm cites as 50% of building problems tied to roof, masonry, and exterior wall failures, with forensic investigation and roof asset management capabilities.

MartinRiley generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements priced on a custom, per-project basis dependent on scope and complexity, with multi-year contract cadences typical for ongoing institutional clients. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and direct, targeting government, institutional, and commercial clients across civic, education, healthcare, industrial, aviation, and historic preservation sectors. Marketing is portfolio-driven, relying on a website showcase, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram rather than paid acquisition. Customer engagement is relationship-based, with documented multi-decade relationships (e.g., Fort Wayne Community Schools 25+ years) suggesting a stable, repeat-driven revenue base, though no financial figures are publicly disclosed.
