Lynch, Harrison & Brumleve

What Lynch, Harrison & Brumleve does

Lynch, Harrison & Brumleve, Inc. (LHB) is a privately held consulting structural engineering firm headquartered at 550 Virginia Avenue in Indianapolis, Indiana. Founded by Bill Lynch over a half-century ago (the firm's own website records the founding date as 1970, though some third-party data references 1959), LHB delivers structural engineering design, analysis, construction documentation, and field observation services for building projects across a broad set of verticals — K-12 and higher education, healthcare, religious facilities, performing arts centers, public/government buildings, industrial facilities, office, and residential/mixed-use developments. The firm operates as a principal-led professional services practice rather than a software platform, with four principals (Paul Brumleve, Scott Clore, Rob Dee, Mark LaVier), approximately 24 engineers and BIM/CAD technicians, and no outside institutional ownership.

LHB's technical stack is built entirely on industry-standard structural engineering and BIM tools — Revit and AutoCAD for construction document production and BIM standard/library development, plus Bentley RAM Structural Software, Enercalc, and Adapt for structural analysis and design calculations across multiple structural systems (light and heavy timber, structural steel, masonry, mild and post-tensioned concrete, various foundation systems, cold-formed steel framing, and precast). The firm does not sell, license, or productize proprietary technology, does not expose an API, and does not claim any AI/ML capability.

Revenue is generated exclusively through project-based consulting engagements. Fees are quoted on a per-project basis depending on scope and complexity, and the firm does not publish pricing. The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: LHB pursues work through principal-led business development, deep collaborative ties with a small network of regional architecture firms (Schmidt Associates, CSO/Cripe, RATIO Architects as core partners; ARTEKNA, Elevatus, entheos ARCHITECTS, Studio M, Mussett Nicholas Associates as standard-tier collaborators), and repeat engagements with institutional end clients across Indiana and the broader Midwest and Southeast U.S. The firm has no explicit marketing campaigns, no digital self-serve channels, no announced funding, and no M&A activity on record.
