New Professionals and Skill Added to Architecture and Engineering Firm:

 The New Year will bring a group of new professionals and a new skill set to Pickering Associates.  The company recently purchased BHG Surveying, the largest surveying company in the Mid-Ohio Valley.  President of Pickering Associates, Ryan Taylor, says the addition of the surveyors means a complete project delivery for clients.

“In much of our work, surveying is often the first step of the process.  With the addition of the surveying group, we’re better able to serve our clients and see that their project is seamless and streamlined with efficient communication.  When we say we’re a full-service architecture, engineering, and surveying firm, we mean it. We can handle any project, of any size, and scope, all under one roof.”

BHG Surveying was established in 1999 and has extensive projects in both West Virginia and Ohio.   Their professionals bring over 60 years of combined experience to Pickering Associates as well as an extensive client base.  The surveyors have worked on government, healthcare, industrial, private, construction and oil and gas projects.  As a community-oriented company, Pickering Associates’ new surveyors fully meet the needs of its clients by providing the skills, experience and dedication necessary to ensure complete satisfaction.

“With the increasing business activity projected for the area, and the expectation of growth, now seemed like the perfect time to join forces with Pickering Associates,” explains Bill Showalter, former owner of BHG Surveying.  “We’re excited to join the Pickering Associates team and offer our now mutual clients more resources.”

With the addition of the surveyors, Pickering Associates is updating its logo.  A new tagline will signal to the community and Pickering Associates’ clients a complete project delivery.

“Our new tagline accurately depicts how we’ve grown and our capabilities,” explains Traci Stotts, Vice- President of Marketing and Development at Pickering Associates.  “It’d be impossible to list every single service we offer to our clients, so we decided to stick with the main disciplines of architecture, engineering, and surveying.  If you have questions about whether we provide a service you’re looking for, we encourage you to get in touch with us.”

Established in 1988, Pickering Associates was founded as an engineering firm that has developed into an integrated architecture, engineering and surveying company providing services in education, government, healthcare, industrial, oil & gas and private sector clients.
