About the firm

Since 2010, Shimp Engineering has built a comprehensive portfolio. Its small size and interdisciplinary team allow it to be both thorough and responsive, moving easily between the nuances of small sites and the complexities of large projects. The practice develops small-scale residential projects, sites multi-family apartment complexes, designs planting schemes for town centers and shopping areas, and drafts stormwater management designs for lots under development. While the diversity of its team allows it to engage in a range of land design practices, its work is unified. Each project carries its trademark: careful and skilled negotiation of municipal policies, client goals, effective design, environmental sustainability, and community well-being.
