About Fred

Fred Baumert’s 40 years in engineering have encompassed design of new structures in steel, concrete, masonry and wood, as well as renovation and restoration of contemporary and historic structures. For each project, Fred is mindful of both the engineering considerations and the owner’s concerns for budget and durability. His dual perspectives stem from his advisory role at two local institutions. Wearing the “owner’s hat” gives Fred a keen perspective on issues of material quality, serviceability, and life-cycle costs.
