What Ryan Biggs | Clark Davis does

Ryan Biggs Clark Davis Engineering, D.P.C., founded in 1973 in Troy, NY and now headquartered in Clifton Park, NY, is a privately held structural engineering consulting firm operating under the legal designation of a New York professional corporation. The firm maintains a staff of approximately 50 employees, including over 20 licensed professional engineers, across two offices in New York State (Clifton Park and Skaneateles). It is one of the largest woman-owned engineering firms in Upstate New York, led by President/CEO Jamie Davis as majority shareholder, and is certified as a Woman-Owned Business Enterprise across five jurisdictions including New York State, New York City, Massachusetts, the Port Authority of NY & NJ, and Syracuse.

The firm provides a bundled suite of structural engineering services delivered as professional consulting engagements: structural engineering design for new buildings; renovation, repair, and restoration of masonry, concrete, wood, and steel structures; industrial process structural support (including work with international design teams on semiconductor manufacturing facilities); contractor support and delegate engineering services; investigation and inspection (acting as special inspectors); historic preservation work on National Register properties; and non-destructive testing to characterize in-situ materials. Its technology stack is built around conventional AEC tools — Building Information Modeling (BIM), REVIT design, 3D scan data integration, and physical non-destructive testing instrumentation — rather than AI/ML platforms.

Ryan Biggs Clark Davis generates revenue through professional services fees on a project-by-project basis, going to market via direct enterprise engagement with architects, contractors, developers, and public/private owners across market segments including higher education, healthcare, industrial, municipal, transportation, parking structures, K-12 facilities, hospitality, religious institutions, and historic preservation. Notable disclosed project work includes structural design for the $93 million Dartmouth College Life Sciences Center, the $180 million University at Albany Emerging Technology and Entrepreneurship Complex, and the $47 million Hudson Valley Community College Science Center (Structural Engineering Project of the Year). The firm distributes services regionally across the Northeast US (NY, NH, MA, CT, VT, PA) and supplements direct client engagement through industry conference participation, professional association membership in 40+ organizations, content marketing via its website and newsletter, and a modest social media presence.
