About Us
Fluhrer Reed is a structural engineering firm offering comprehensive structural engineering for commercial and multifamily residential spaces. Located in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina, we make our home in the Pilot Mill warehouse – a distinctive, century-old industrial building converted into modern office lofts.
The principals of Fluhrer Reed are Mitchell Fluhrer and Banning Reed, who met in engineering school at NC State University. In March, 1999, they pooled their resources and launched Fluhrer Reed. Since founding Fluhrer Reed, they have consulted on over 2,000 projects across the Southeast.
Mitchell and Banning have built a unique working environment that values cooperation and promotes solid teamwork. As a result, when you enter our office, you won’t find calculator-pushers who keep to themselves and hide behind cubicle walls. Instead, you’ll find our engineers collaborating on projects and loving what they do. Their passion for their work clearly shows in the quality of our designs.
