Gremmer & Associates

What Gremmer & Associates does

Gremmer & Associates, Inc. is a privately held Wisconsin civil engineering and professional surveying consultancy founded in 1977 by Tim Gremmer. The firm employs over 40 qualified staff, including 10 Professional Engineers and 3 Registered Land Surveyors, operating from three offices in Fond du Lac, Stevens Point, and Germantown that collectively cover all five Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) regions. Its service portfolio spans transportation design, municipal engineering, site development design, land surveying, stormwater management, construction observation, and GIS web development. Core deliverables are produced using industry-standard tools — AutoCAD Civil 3D, AutoCAD, Microstation, Trimble R8 Rover GPS, and hydrologic/hydraulic modeling packages (SWMM, HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS) — rather than proprietary technology platforms.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional service fees billed to municipal, state, and private-sector clients, primarily through competitive bidding on government infrastructure contracts and direct negotiation with private developers. The firm's named client base is heavily weighted toward Wisconsin public-sector entities, with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, Fond du Lac County, Winnebago County, and the City of Fond du Lac as recurring counterparties; Mercury Marine is a notable private-sector engagement. A multi-party ownership structure created in 2001, with new shareholders added as recently as May 2023, aligns partner engineers with firm performance, and owners remain directly involved in design and project management. There are no disclosed funding rounds, institutional investors, acquisitions, or indications of expansion beyond Wisconsin.
