Bogart, Pederson & Associates

What Bogart, Pederson & Associates does

Bogart, Pederson & Associates, Inc. was a privately held professional land surveying and civil engineering firm headquartered in Becker, Minnesota, founded in 1997 and operating for nearly 29 years prior to its merger. The firm delivered five integrated service lines — land surveying, civil engineering, wetland restoration, septic system design, and site planning — to public and private clients across the northwest metro area and greater Minnesota. Service delivery was executed by a 23-person team of civil engineers, land surveyors, certified wetland delineators, and supporting staff under the leadership of founder/owner Craig Wensmann, LS.

The business model is a relationship-driven, project-based professional services model typical of regional U.S. A&E/surveying firms: services are quoted and billed per project to a mix of government/municipal and private developer clients, with no publicly disclosed pricing or contract economics. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and direct — engagements originate from established local client relationships rather than through formal marketing channels or technology-enabled distribution.

On January 1, 2026, Bogart, Pederson merged with Widseth, a full-service architecture, engineering, environmental, and surveying firm with 270 professionals across 13 offices in the Upper Midwest (since 1975). The Becker office became Widseth's thirteenth location, with Wensmann continuing to lead the team as a vice president of Widseth. As a result, Bogart, Pederson & Associates, Inc. no longer operates as an independent entity; its service portfolio, clients, and staff have been absorbed into the larger Widseth platform, gaining access to multi-discipline capabilities and a broader regional footprint in exchange for standalone ownership.
