GOP

What GOP does

GOP Limited is a privately held structural engineering consulting firm headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. Founded in 1922 as Euphrat & Hanly, the firm traces a century-long heritage and is one of the earliest dedicated structural consulting practices in the Cincinnati market. It provides structural engineering design, analysis, and construction oversight services for new construction, renovation, and historic preservation projects across multiple market sectors.

The firm's core services are organized by building type — K-12 Education, Higher Education, Office, Hospitality, Retail, Municipal, and Re-Use/Renovation — plus a Heritage Preservation practice supported by a 1,500 square foot temperature- and humidity-controlled archive of original structural drawings for Cincinnati landmarks such as Union Terminal and Music Hall. All named principals carry the Professional Engineer (P.E.) credential. GOP does not license a software product or technology platform; its proprietary asset is its archival engineering knowledge base and its documented project history.

GOP generates revenue through project-based professional services fees, with pricing scoped individually per engagement rather than via published rate cards or subscription models. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise and institutional sales: the firm pursues competitive bids for public-sector work (schools, municipalities, libraries, fire stations) and direct engagements with private developers, hospitality operators, and financial institutions. Marketing is limited to a website portfolio showcasing completed projects in the Greater Cincinnati tri-state area (Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana); no partnerships, channel partners, or external funding have been disclosed.
