Bowman Consulting Acquires Professional Services Firm Fisher Engineering; Expects Deal To Be Immediately Accretive

Bowman Consulting Group Ltd BWMN has acquired Fisher Engineering, a customized fire protection and life safety engineering services provider. The financial terms were not disclosed.
Founded in 2007, Fisher serves customers across the U.S. and internationally from offices in Atlanta, Baltimore, Charlotte, Detroit, Portland (ME), Phoenix and Virginia Beach.
Fisher's services include code consulting, commissioning, life safety survey and analysis, systems design, fire, smoke and egress modeling, performance-based design, litigation and forensic engineering, and third-party reviews.
Fisher's workforce of 24 professionals, including Doug Fisher, the firm's Principal Fire Protection Engineer and Co-Founder, will join Bowman.

Bowman expects the Fisher acquisition to contribute approximately $5 million of annualized net service billing before revenue synergies and be immediately accretive.
