Coffman Engineers Opens Office in Washington, D.C. Metro Area
Demand for Fire Protection Engineering Drives Expansion of East Coast Presence
Fulton, Maryland, May 19, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Coffman Engineers, a mid-sized, multidiscipline engineering firm, has opened its newest office location in Fulton, Maryland. The Washington, D.C. Metro office opened to support growing client demand for Coffman’s fire protection engineering services in the East.
The new office comes during an exciting time of growth for Coffman as they strategically increase their presence on the East Coast. In 2014, the addition of the fire protection service line and key leadership expanded Coffman’s geographic reach from the Western U.S. to Charleston, South Carolina, and Atlanta, Georgia, in response to clients’ need for progressive fire and life safety services. The Washington, D.C. Metro office is the latest location in the company’s growth in the area.
"We are very excited about our recent expansion into the D.C. Metro area as it allows us to improve our responsiveness and service offerings to our growing client base in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions. Our strategic initiative to develop fire protection engineering services throughout our company has also afforded us the opportunity to expand geographically, and given us the privilege of welcoming new, talented, fire protection engineers to the Coffman team."
David Ruff, P.E., President of Coffman Engineers
