HISTORY
LKB Engineering is born from a long history of expertise, growth, and collaboration. The organization is built on the legacy and foundation of both the Vertex Companies and Lockwood, Kessler, and Bartlett Incorporated. As we enter the next phase of evolution we will expand upon the expertise and reputation of the past while embracing innovations and progress into the future.
The Vertex Companies, founded in 1995, brought on engineering in 2011 with the acquisition of McGlamery Engineering Group, LLC in Denver Colorado. They continued to grow their engineering services organically and in 2017 brought in Andrew Chagnon to expand engineering services in the Northeast and ultimately run the engineering design practice company wide. In 2021 Vertex Acquired Lockwood, Kessler, And Bartlett, Inc. of NY significantly expanding the engineering services they can offer. The same year the hired Dave Macedonio to help lead the New York market.
The origins of Lockwood, Kessler & Bartlett, Inc. trace back to the year 1889, which rested between the American Civil War and World War I, where the primary means of short-distance transportation was achieved by using a horse and carriage, North Dakota became the 39th state, and Benjamin Harrison was the 23rd President of the United States.
In 2024 Dave Macedonio and Andrew Chagnon worked in partnership with Vertex to execute a management buyout of the engineering design practice from Vertex and began to operate independently as LKB Engineering PLLC. This was a strategic decision which aligns with Vertex’s focus on expanding their core services (which include forensics, expert services, project advisory, compliance, and regulatory consulting) and the realignment empowers LKB Engineering to make strategic decisions regarding growth, hiring, and areas of practice, focusing solely on advancing engineering excellence. At the same time, it fosters a strong collaborative relationship between the two companies.
