What Rehder and Associates does

Rehder & Associates, Inc. is a privately held civil engineering and land surveying professional services firm founded in 1990 and headquartered at 3440 Federal Drive, Suite 110, Eagan, Minnesota. The firm delivers two integrated service lines — civil engineering (land and site development, water resources, grading and erosion control, utilities design) and land surveying (boundary, topographic, ALTA/ACSM land title surveys, land subdivisions and platting, construction staking) — primarily across the Twin Cities metro area, greater Minnesota, and Western Wisconsin (surveying only). Its customer base spans private developers, commercial/industrial enterprises, restaurants, auto dealerships, religious institutions, K–12 and higher education, municipal parks departments, and county government, with project work conducted on a customized, quote-based engagement model.

The firm operates on a sales-led, direct-engagement go-to-market model, reaching clients via its website (rehder.com), a prominent phone line (651-452-5051), and a contact form. Technology consists of Autodesk Civil 3D for drafting and design and modern surveying equipment, deployed by a small team of licensed professionals including PE-licensed engineers, a Registered Land Surveyor, and experienced survey crew chiefs. Revenue is generated on a project-by-project (one-time) basis with no publicly disclosed pricing or subscription components. Named clients include Cossetta's, Pizza Luce, Buffalo Wild Wings, Burnsville Toyota, Apple Ford, Coloplast, Wells Fargo, Xcel Energy, Best Buy, Boston Scientific, University of Minnesota, and Dakota County Community Development Agency, demonstrating capability across both small commercial fit-outs and large corporate campus work.

The company is led by President and Principal Civil Engineer Nick Adam, PE (25+ years at the firm, stormwater management specialist) and Vice-President Christine Larson (Natural Resources degree, overall operations). No external funding, acquisitions, subsidiaries, partnerships, or AI/ML capabilities were identified; the firm is founder/management-owned and has operated continuously since 1990 as a regional, organic-growth professional services practice.
