PROFILE
eighty years. our story.
When P.R. Banister opened his civil engineering business in North St. Paul, Minn., in 1927, he knew that high quality service equaled success. He probably didn’t know, however, that 80 years later, his one-person office would become a multidisciplined consulting services firm of 750 employees in nearly 30 offices across the nation, responsible for completing tens of thousands of projects for thousands of clients.
Through partnerships, shifts in leadership, office moves, and name changes, SEH’s commitment to service has remained unwavering. It was the idea of service that motivated SEH to open a second office. Under the name Banister, Short, Elliott, Hendrickson & Associates, the Chippewa Falls, Wis., office opened in 1973. From the beginning, SEH believed in the importance of having resources close to clients to provide onsite services for quick solutions and responsive communication. This mindset paved the way for opening future offices.
Nearly 20 years and 165 employees later after opening its second office, the name changed to Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc., and the idea of service evolved into a greater range of services and expertise to help better meet the challenges and opportunities facing clients. In 1992, SEH merged with architecture and engineering firm Pauly, Olsen, Bettendorf, Eastwood & Associates. With the success of the merger, leadership saw the opportunity for SEH to become a “one-stop” shop—a single-source service provider. Since then, SEH has expanded its service base through eight mergers and acquisitions.
As we wrap up our 80th year as a multidisciplined professional consulting services firm comprised of architects, engineers, scientists, and planners, we’re looking ahead to anticipate the challenges that our clients may face. Our experienced technical staff remains ready to provide trusted solutions. Like Banister, we know that we will maintain a tradition of high quality service, which will bring SEH and our clients 80 more years of success.
