Strategic merger Barrish Pelham merged with Degenkolb Engineers, combining regional Sacramento presence with broad seismic and structural expertise, signaling enhanced capabilities for complex projects and cross-market opportunities.

Seismic and risk focus Emphasize Degenkolb’s 80 years of experience in seismic analysis, forensics, and damage assessment to pursue clients seeking robust risk mitigation, disaster response, and post-event recovery services.

Healthcare and critical facilities Leverage established strength in healthcare, education, technology, civic, and federal sectors to target clients planning new facilities or retrofits requiring high performance structural resilience.

Growth potential Small firm footprint (2-10 employees) with revenue in the 1–10M range presents upsell opportunities through additional services, expanded staffing for larger projects, and expanded geographic reach within the West Coast.

Adjacency and services Promote value of existing-structure evaluation, post-disaster assessment, and loss prevention programs as recurring services to building owners and insurers, opening recurring revenue streams and sustainability consulting angles.
