en.Wedoany.com Reported - U.S. engineering consulting firm Simpson Gumpertz & Heger Inc. (SGH) announced in early 2026 that it has strategically expanded its building enclosure consulting services in Atlanta, Georgia, and the southeastern United States. Senior architect and building expert Edward Bernard, FAIA, has joined the firm as a principal, while senior enclosure engineer and associate principal Scott Tomlinson will also collaborate at the office.

SGH, a national engineering consulting firm founded in 1956, is headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts, and currently employs approximately 750 people across ten offices nationwide, specializing in providing solutions to complex technical problems in building enclosures, structural engineering, and materials science. Bernard brings over 30 years of experience in building enclosure consulting, forensic architecture, facility assessments, and restoration design, having led complex investigations and restoration work for projects in education, healthcare, municipal, commercial, and mission-critical facilities. He has held leadership roles, including president, at the Atlanta Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and AIA Georgia. Tomlinson has extensive experience in enclosure and material performance investigations, restoration design, and new building consulting, with a particular focus on East Coast operations. Both will work out of SGH's Atlanta office, which also currently offers building structural engineering and structural mechanics services. SGH Chief Operating Officer Niklas Wigner stated that Tomlinson truly embodies a client-first service philosophy, while Bernard is an industry advocate with a broad vision and deep roots in the Southeast. Located at 100 Galleria Parkway, the expanded team will help clients address complex enclosure, waterproofing, curtain wall, and performance challenges in both existing and new buildings.

This team expansion further strengthens SGH's professional technical service network in the Southeast, enabling the firm to provide more comprehensive enclosure consulting solutions to local clients.
