California Contractor #1107087

• We’ve 100% owned this place since 1986. That means we approach every project with the heart and dedication of an owner. For the next day’s problem or the next decade’s vision, we work harder and smarter to consult, plan, design, build and deliver.

• The Society of American Military Engineers (SAME) Los Angeles Post awarded Burns & McDonnell with the Large Business Award for our achievements with the small business subcontracting community in California.

• We’re engineers, architects, construction professionals, scientists and more. What do we all have in common? We care about each other, our clients and a job well done — to the benefit of our communities and the world.

• Fueled by the drive to strengthen communities, our employee-owners formed the Burns & McDonnell Foundation in 1988. Giving back isn’t an obligation of corporate culture around here. It’s a privilege and a personal commitment that beats in the heart of each one of us.

• Burns & McDonnell hosted a Community of Inclusion and Equity Symposium. Together, attendees discussed best procurement practices for diverse businesses.
