Acquisition synergies Manhard Consulting has joined Atwell, creating a combined nationwide capability in land development and energy markets. This suggests expanded project opportunities across larger geographies and more complex, multi-disciplinary wins that can be pursued through joint pursuits.

Expanded geographic reach With Atwell’s national footprint and Manhard’s existing presence, there is potential to pursue larger-scale civil engineering, surveying, and land development projects across multiple states, including energy-related infrastructure, leveraging shared resources and cross-sell.

Energy and real estate focus Atwell specializes in real estate and land development as well as power and energy. Target opportunities include utility-scale projects, energy transitions, and site development for real estate ventures requiring integrated engineering and construction services.

Leadership and continuity Recent leadership changes and the strategic acquisition may signal favorable timing for relationship-building with key decision-makers at Atwell and Manhard, enabling targeted outreach to capture ongoing programs, renewals, and expansions.

Industry recognition Manhard was recognized as a Top 500 Design Firm in 2024, underscoring a credible track record. This can be leveraged in proposals to win new projects with clients seeking established civil engineering and surveying expertise within a broader Atwell portfolio.
