Broad incumbents

• Stantec: Large publicly-traded multi-discipline engineering, architecture, and environmental services firm. Stantec's Buildings and Infrastructure practices compete directly with Korda on healthcare, higher education, government, and transportation projects across North America, though at materially larger scale.
• HDR Inc. Employee-owned global engineering, architecture, and consulting firm with one of the strongest healthcare engineering practices in the US. Directly comparable to Korda on hospital design, MEP/structural coordination, and university/healthcare campus master planning, but at national scale.
• Burns & McDonnell: Employee-owned full-service engineering, architecture, and construction firm with strong healthcare, higher education, aviation, and government practices. Comparable in multi-discipline single-source delivery model to Korda, but with substantially broader geographic and service-line reach.
• WSP: Global professional services firm with major buildings, transportation, and environment practices that overlap Korda's healthcare, higher-ed, and infrastructure verticals. Larger scale and publicly-traded, but competes for the same owner-side master service agreements in Ohio and the Midwest.
• AECOM: Global infrastructure consulting firm with large buildings + places and transportation practices competing for healthcare systems, universities, ODOT, and large public works. Substantially larger than Korda, but the relevant competitor on mega-projects in Korda's core Ohio geography.

Direct peers

• Kimley-Horn: Privately-held, rapidly growing multi-discipline engineering firm with strong land development, transportation, and site/civil practices. Closely comparable in mid-size, private, partner-led culture and similar vertical mix, particularly on site development and survey work overlapping Korda's civil practice.
• Mead & Hunt: Mid-size, employee-owned multi-discipline engineering and architecture firm with comparable aviation, transportation, water, and healthcare practices. Closest peer in scale, ownership structure, and vertical mix to Korda, particularly on ODOT-style transportation and infrastructure work.
• Woolpert: Mid-size architecture, engineering, and geospatial (surveying/UAV) firm headquartered in Dayton, Ohio. Closely comparable to Korda in size, regional Midwest focus, surveying and civil engineering capabilities, and federal/state/local government client base.
• DLZ Corporation: Ohio-based multi-discipline engineering, architecture, and surveying firm. Direct competitor to Korda on Ohio DOT work, higher education campus projects, municipal infrastructure, and commercial site development within the same regional geography.
• ms consultants: Ohio-based multi-discipline engineering, architecture, and planning firm of comparable size. Direct peer on Ohio transportation, municipal, site development, and building engineering projects, with similar Midwestern owner-led culture.
