We aren’t just architects or engineers, FourFront’s people are as rich in experience and diverse in personal interest as the history of our great company. We share the goal that being deeply committed to where we live, work, and play connects us all – and it makes us proud to be a Certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, and a Certified Women-Owned Small Business.

We began as Brady Engineering in 1950 out of Spearfish, South Dakota with the goal to provide civil engineering services to the Black Hills region that would help our communities flourish. In 1980, we reorganized to form the Alliance of Architects and Engineers, then offering architecture to our services. Bryan Vulcan, a retired lieutenant colonel from the Army Corps of Engineers, bought controlling interest in 2003. In January of 2006, we merged with Thurston Design Group, LLP, to form FourFront Design, Inc., a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, with an eye on expanding our services.
In May of 2020, we merged with Dawes Engineering located in Helena Montana. In January 2021, Stephanie Holman, a retired senior master sergeant from the United States Air Force, bought controlling interest in the company as Bryan Vulcan prepared for retirement. This elevated us to a certified Women-Owned Small Business in addition to retaining our SDVOSB certification.
