Smith & Boucher

What Smith & Boucher does

Smith & Boucher, Inc. is a private consulting engineering firm founded in 1967 in Olathe, Kansas, that provides mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering design, energy services, and commissioning services for buildings across the United States. The firm's three integrated service lines—MEP design, energy modeling and optimization, and commissioning—span the full building lifecycle from facility assessments and master planning through conceptual design, full design, contract administration, and post-occupancy quality assurance. It serves ten vertical markets including healthcare, higher education, K-12, hospitality, housing/multi-family, justice and civic, lab/research, office, religious, and retail/restaurants, with named projects at the Federal Reserve Bank, Garmin Corporate Headquarters, Johnson County Courthouse, Union Station (historic restoration), the University of Kansas, and the VA Outpatient Clinic.

The firm operates a professional services revenue model, billing on a per-project basis to architects, developers, building owners, and government clients. It sells through direct enterprise field sales supported by an extensive project portfolio and long-standing architectural firm relationships (e.g., Hollis & Miller, Shaughnessy & Associates). Leadership includes PE-licensed professionals with credentials across 26-37 states, plus CEM, LEED AP, CxA, RCDD, LC, and CGD certifications. The firm is employee-owned under an ESOP formed in the 1980s and maintains fewer than 40 staff, an intentionally lean operating posture that allows senior-led engagement on projects ranging from small tenant finishes to landmark high-rises. Active project footprints span at least eight states (KS, MO, AR, NE, TX, AZ, CA, IN), and the firm holds wholly-owned operating subsidiaries including Energy Masters Corporation (EMC), Energy Masters Controls Corporation (EMCC), and Engineered Food Services (EFS), under the historical Synergy holding umbrella. Pricing is not publicly disclosed.
