Despite a global pandemic that paralyzed entire industries and shuttered businesses, Albuquerque-based engineering firm Bohannan Huston Inc. (BHI) saw its revenue across the three-state region of Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico grow by $5.8 million in 2020—a 17.6% increase from 2019—to close out the year at $38.6 million.
The firm specializes in civil and structural design of traffic, transportation and water and wastewater resources from its offices in Albuquerque, Las Cruces, N.M., and Denver. When the pandemic hit in early 2020, BHI’s nearly 200 office staff quickly pivoted to work from home, and most are still working remotely more than a year later. While this shift might have hampered many firms’ abilities to remain competitive, BHI zeroed in on the needs of both its employees and its clients, ultimately growing the firm’s project portfolio and expanding its offerings as a result.
