Wilson Structural Consultants

What Wilson Structural Consultants does

Wilson Structural Consultants is a Florida-based structural engineering consulting firm founded in 1997 by Richard Wilson, originally in Colorado Springs, before relocating its headquarters to Sarasota, Florida in late 1998 to serve demand in the Florida construction market. The firm offers three core service lines — structural design across concrete, post-tension concrete, timber, structural steel, masonry, aluminum, and granite; contract administration including shop drawing review and field inspection; and Florida threshold inspection via licensed Threshold Inspectors and Field Representatives — plus specialty practices in forensic and expert witness services and the design of historic and unique structures. As of the input period the firm operates from two offices (Sarasota headquarters and South Tampa, opened 2018) with approximately 15 team members, and is organized as a subsidiary of Karins Engineering Group following a 2022 partnership that added MEPF, Restoration, and Forensics capabilities plus an eight-office Florida footprint and collective licensure in 31 states. The team's professional composition includes two PE Managers (Anthony Wilson in Sarasota, Kevin Kemp in Tampa), a bench of Engineer Interns, two drafting staff, one Threshold Inspector, an admin assistant, and an intern.

Wilson Structural serves a horizontal mix of construction end-markets: residential (the primary segment, covering hotels, mid- and high-rise towers, mixed-use structures, apartments, custom homes, and luxury condominium developments such as Ritz Carlton Residence Naples, Sansara, and Altura Bayshore Tampa), educational facilities (pre-school through university), institutional projects (assisted living, hospitals, libraries, churches, government facilities such as Gulf Gate Library and Manatee County Mosquito Control), and commercial structures (office and retail). The customer base is composed of developers, architects, and general contractors who engage the firm for project-based professional engineering deliverables.

The business model is project-based professional services fees with no publicly disclosed pricing; go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with principals (Tony Wilson and Kevin Kemp) directly engaging enterprise clients across Florida and the Southeastern United States. Revenue is generated through design contracts, construction administration engagements, and threshold inspection mandates, with the 2022 Karins partnership materially expanding the addressable service portfolio and geographic reach while preserving Wilson Structural's brand and family ownership identity.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Haskell Company: Florida-headquartered design-build firm with in-house structural engineering capabilities. Competes with Wilson on larger integrated projects, though Haskell's EPC orientation makes it a broader incumbent rather than a pure structural peer.
• Thornton Tomasetti: Global structural engineering firm with deep high-rise and complex-structure expertise. Competes with Wilson for premium Florida projects but operates at significantly larger scale, serving as a broader incumbent in the structural engineering space.
• AECOM: Global engineering and infrastructure consultancy offering structural engineering as part of a much broader portfolio. AECOM competes with Wilson on larger institutional, government, and infrastructure projects where full multi-discipline delivery is required.
• TLC Engineering Solutions: Florida-based multi-discipline engineering consultancy providing structural alongside MEP services. Comparable to a Karins/Wilson combination at scale and competes for similar institutional, healthcare, and commercial projects.

Direct peers

• TRC Worldwide Engineering: Florida-based multi-discipline engineering firm with strong structural, MEP, and threshold inspection offerings. Direct competitor for Wilson's mid-rise and large-scale Florida institutional and commercial work.
• DeSimone Consulting Engineers: Multi-office structural engineering firm with strong high-rise and luxury residential portfolio. Comparable to Wilson in service mix (structural design, threshold-adjacent inspection) and target market (premium developers, signature architecture).
• Stanley D. Lindsey and Associates: Boutique structural engineering consultancy with strong high-rise and large-complex project credentials, similar in scale and culture to Wilson Structural. Comparable as a competitor for premium structural design engagements in the Southeast.
• Karins Engineering Group: Parent company and direct partner since the 2022 merger. Karins provides multi-discipline engineering (Structural, MEPF, Restoration, Forensics) across eight Florida offices, with the same Florida and Southeast US footprint Wilson serves. The two firms share clients and projects, making Karins Wilson's closest comparable.
• Bliss & Nyitray: Florida-based structural engineering firm with offices in Palm Beach, Fort Myers, and Orlando. Direct peer in size, geography, and service mix — competing for the same mid-rise, high-rise, and institutional structural engagements.

Regional players

• Walter L. Pence: Mid-Atlantic structural engineering firm with multi-state reach and comparable boutique positioning. Similar in size and discipline mix to Wilson, though focused on Mid-Atlantic rather than Florida geography.
