What Mbn Engineering Inc does

MBN Engineering, Inc. is a privately held, multi-discipline engineering consulting firm founded in 2007 and headquartered in Fargo, North Dakota, with additional regional offices in Bismarck, North Dakota and Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The firm delivers four integrated engineering service lines — civil, electrical, mechanical, and transmission — covering site feasibility, master planning, drainage and stormwater design, lighting and power distribution, HVAC and plumbing, building automation, medical gas and fire protection systems, and transmission line and substation engineering. Service delivery spans feasibility, design, LEED coordination, bidding, construction administration, commissioning, and close-out, with specialty capabilities including storm emergency rapid response for transmission lines, LEED BD+C certified design staff, and PE-licensed multi-state practice.

The firm serves public- and private-sector clients across the Upper Midwest and selectively across other U.S. states, organized into verticals including churches, educational facilities, government, medical, recreational, transmission/utility, industrial, commercial and mixed-use, office, and housing and residential development. Named customers span NDSU, Concordia College, Moorhead Area Public Schools, the VA Health Care System, Sanford Health, the North Dakota National Guard, Bell Bank, Bobcat Company, and a long tail of regional civic, education, healthcare, and developer clients. The business model is project-based professional services revenue generated through relationship-driven direct sales from the three regional offices, supplemented by sub-consultant partnerships (Sebesta-Blomberg for substation engineering) and a QuestCDN-hosted Plan Room for distributing bid documents.

MBN Engineering is privately held with no parent company, no disclosed investors, and no public listing. Leadership comprises four named principals who also serve as discipline department managers: Michael A. Berger (President / Electrical), Tony Eukel (Vice President / Civil), Jeremy Magelky (Secretary/Treasurer / Mechanical), and Josh Magelky (Transmission). The firm is licensed to practice engineering across multiple U.S. states and was recognized by Utilities Tech Outlook Magazine in 2023 for its transmission engineering work.

Revenue model

1. Engineering Design Services: Project-based professional engineering services across civil, electrical, mechanical, and transmission disciplines for public and private clients. Engagements typically scope-driven (feasibility, design, bidding, construction administration, close-out/as-builts). Revenue is tied to project fees rather than recurring subscriptions.
2. Transmission Line and Substation Engineering Services: Specialized transmission engineering services including routing, permitting, line design, material procurement, construction staking, inspection, and substation engineering delivered in coordination with sub-consultants (e.g., Sebesta-Blomberg). Storm emergency response work provides episodic/rapid-response revenue.

Core offering

MBN Engineering, Inc. is a multi-discipline professional engineering services firm that delivers civil, electrical, mechanical, and transmission line engineering design services for public and private sector clients. The firm coordinates all four disciplines under one accountable team, taking projects from feasibility and site planning through design, LEED coordination, bidding, construction administration, and close-out. Services are delivered as project-based engagements to clients across the Upper Midwest and other U.S. states where the firm is licensed.

Product overview

MBN Engineering, Inc. is a multi-discipline engineering services firm (not a packaged software product) that delivers four core service lines — Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Transmission Engineering — under a single integrated practice. These four service lines are coordinated on each project so that site/civil planning, electrical and lighting/telecom/security systems, mechanical (HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, building automation), and transmission/distribution/substation engineering are delivered by one firm. The firm also showcases a project portfolio organized by sector (Churches, Educational Facilities, Government, Medical Facilities, Recreational Facilities, Transmission, Industrial, Commercial & Mixed Use, Office, and Housing & Residential Development), reflecting how the four engineering service lines are applied across markets. MBN began in 2007, is headquartered in Fargo, North Dakota, and operates additional offices in Bismarck, ND and Sioux Falls, SD.
