What Alvine Engineering does

Alvine and Associates, Inc. (operating as Alvine Engineering) is a privately held, full-service building-systems engineering consulting firm founded in 1961 and headquartered at 1201 Cass Street in Omaha, Nebraska. The firm delivers integrated Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, and Technology (MEPT) engineering across ten core service lines — mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, architectural lighting, foodservice design, structured cabling, electronic security, audiovisual, and acoustical consulting — plus a specialized WELL Building Standard-aligned offering. Alvine's stated differentiator is an integrated delivery model that co-locates multiple engineering disciplines, enabling tighter coordination than siloed specialty consultancies.

The company serves building owners, architects, developers, and business owners on projects of varying scale across more than 14 vertical markets, including higher education, K-12, healthcare, corporate, government, hospitality, mission-critical / data centers, historic preservation, multi-family, and mixed-use developments. Notable named projects include Northwestern Mutual's Milwaukee headquarters, the Nebraska State Capitol's multi-phased HVAC replacement, Union Pacific Center, Salesforce Tower Chicago, T3 Denver RiNo (mass timber), Nashville Yards, Omni PGA Frisco Resort, and Scott Technology Data Center. The firm operates from five U.S. offices — Omaha, Lincoln, Des Moines, Oklahoma City, and Denver — employing 101–250 professional engineers, designers, and project managers with credentials including P.E., LEED AP, WELL AP, LC, RCDD, CTS, CPD, and HFDP.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional engineering consulting fees, typically structured as multi-year contracts tied to construction program duration. The firm pursues business via a sales-led, relationship-driven GTM motion targeting enterprise clients and architectural partners, supported by a portfolio website, social channels, careers page, and active PR around industry awards (ACEC, AEI, IES, ENR, BD+C, CSE). In June 2025, Alvine unified with IP Design Group under a single 'Alvine' brand, consolidating engineering and design under one identity. The firm is privately held by its principals and shareholders, with no identified parent company, outside investors, or public listing.
