Crump Wilson Architects

What Crump Wilson Architects does

Crump Wilson Architects is a full-service architectural and interior design firm founded in 1978 and headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The firm provides comprehensive design services spanning programming, conceptual design, space planning, site planning, and construction administration, with specialized expertise in petrochemical and industrial facilities, blast-resistant structures, hazardous materials handling, and complex laboratory design (including BSL3 environments). It serves enterprise petrochemical clients (BASF, ExxonMobil, Westlake, TOTAL Petrochemicals), municipal and government entities (Port of Baton Rouge, City of Zachary, Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals), educational institutions (Nicholls State University, Southeastern Louisiana University), financial institutions (Neighbors Federal Credit Union, Wymar Federal Credit Union), and commercial customers. Interior design is bundled as part of base services rather than charged separately, distinguishing the firm from peers.

The firm's core technology platform is BIM-based 3D visualization for multi-discipline coordination and clash detection. The team comprises architects, interior designers, CADD operators, intern architects, and support personnel, led by Managing Partner Mike Wilson (45+ years of experience). The firm is licensed to practice across 14 states spanning the East and Gulf Coast region from New Jersey to Illinois. Customer engagement is sales-led, pursued through direct partner involvement, project manager relationships, and Eric Kimbrough's active business development efforts targeting industrial and commercial expansion.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees on a project-by-project basis, with pricing determined by project scope, complexity, and specific client requirements. The firm has executed hundreds of projects inside petrochemical industrial gates and maintains long-tenured relationships with repeat enterprise clients across multiple states. Operationally, the firm is a privately-held LLC with no external investment, parent company, or public market exposure.
