About B.N.R.
A focused firm with the experience to carry substantial work.
B.N.R. combines an engineering legacy dating to 1981 with a modern focus on industrial structures, practical documentation, and responsive project support.
A second-generation engineering legacy.
Structural engineering has been part of the Bihner family since 1981. Today, B.N.R. carries that experience forward with a focused practice built around industrial facilities, constructable systems, and long-term professional relationships.
Brett Bihner brings more than 25 years of engineering experience to the work. That depth informs how the firm evaluates structural options, anticipates coordination needs, and responds when a project reaches the field.
The Smaller-Firm Advantage
Direct communication. Fewer layers. Faster resolution.
B.N.R. is intentionally lean. Clients work with a team that remains close to the drawings, the decisions, and the construction questions. That structure reduces handoffs and makes it easier to reach someone who understands the project.
- Industrial and distribution facility expertise
- Tilt-up concrete wall and foundation design
- Structural steel, joist, and column systems

- Tenant-improvement and equipment-support analysis
- Shop-drawing review and RFI response
- Project support from Design Development through Construction Administration
Efficient does not mean abbreviated.
Efficiency comes from experience, clear decisions, coordinated details, and responsive communication—not from leaving questions unresolved. B.N.R. works to produce structural systems that are straightforward to understand and practical to build, supported by documents that carry the design intent into construction.
