Diverse leadership Shear Structural is Georgia’s only women-owned and managed structural engineering firm, certified as a WBE and FBE. This positions them as a compelling partner for clients prioritizing supplier diversity, with potential opportunities in public sector projects and corporate RFPs that require or favor diverse vendors.

Community impact Specializing in adaptive reuse, healthcare, municipal/civic, and education projects, the firm serves sectors with ongoing demand for resilient, sustainable design. Business development should target city and state agencies, healthcare networks, and educational institutions pursuing modernization and renewal initiatives.

Growth readiness With a revenue range of 10 to 25 million and a small team (11-50 employees), Shear Structural appears positioned for selective project expansion. Opportunities may exist in multi-project retainers, joint ventures, or subcontracting roles with larger ENR firms on larger citywide or regional programs.

Recognition leverage Industry accolades such as Best Firm to Work For, PSMJ Circle of Excellence membership, and Autodesk Entrepreneur Grant highlight credibility and employer appeal. Leverage these assets in proposals to win client trust and differentiate in competitive bids.

Tech and visibility The firm maintains an active online presence with familiar tech and marketing tools (WordPress, Shopify, Google Workspace, analytics). This suggests openness to digital marketing partnerships, CRM-driven outreach, and enhanced online credibility to attract clients through targeted campaigns and content marketing.
