What Ce Solutions does

CE Solutions, Inc. is a privately held structural engineering consulting firm founded in 1998 by Steve Osborn and headquartered in Fishers, Indiana, with a satellite office opened in West Lafayette in February 2026 at The Purdue Railyard. The firm delivers professional structural engineering services across eight primary verticals: civic and community, corporate and commercial, education and research, healthcare, housing, industrial and manufacturing, infrastructure, and repair and restoration. Service offerings include new building design, additions, renovations, structural evaluations, and repair/restoration work, with notable projects for Purdue University, Lowe's, National Wine & Spirits, Farbest Foods, Cayuga Milk Ingredients, Liberty Fund, Centra Credit Union, BorgWarner, and Franciscan Health. The firm's revenue is generated through project-based professional services engagements, awarded via the Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS) procurement process that prioritizes competency and experience over price.

The firm's underlying technology stack is built around Building Information Modeling, specifically Autodesk Revit, supported by internally developed BIM Execution Plans, project templates, file-sharing standards, and collaboration processes. Structural BIM models are produced to LOD 300 for design intent and interdisciplinary coordination across framing, columns, and connections. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and relationship-based: CE Solutions engages directly with owners, architects, and general contractors, and maintains long-running institutional relationships with repeat clients in higher education and industrial logistics. Marketing is content-driven, centered on an educational blog, project portfolio on the company website, organic social media presence, and community involvement programs such as Canstruction and Gift of Giving Back.

The business is led by CEO and Principal Matt Clark following a 2022 ownership and leadership succession, with founder Steve Osborn continuing as Founding Principal. President and Principal JD Taylor (since 2003) and Vice Presidents Carrie Walden and Chip Bradway round out the senior leadership team. CE Solutions is privately held, employee-owned in culture, and has no disclosed external investors, parent company, funding rounds, or acquisition activity in the source material.
