About Us
q

Nealis Engineering, Inc., was founded in 1995 by the owner Gary L. Nealis, PE. Our first offices were housed on the elegant third floor of Traverse City’s historic Masonic Building on the corner of Front and Union. Soaring ceilings and brick detailing made for a creative and productive environment for the engineers. In 2005, Nealis Engineering, Inc., moved to Building 50 of the former Traverse City State Hospital. Now known as The Village – Grand Traverse Commons, this 19th century Victorian-Italianate brick building is being carefully renovated for residential, office, and retail use. Nealis Engineering occupies space on the first floor where soaring ceilings, ornate woodwork, and views through floor-to-ceiling windows of mature wooded grounds, create a stunning backdrop for offices and studio. www.thevillagetc.com

With an emphasis on controlled growth, the company accepts between four and six major projects (Mechanical and Electrical Construction >$1,000,000) annually in order to retain the personal attention and customer service that have been the hallmarks of the company’s success. Additional smaller projects complete our workload of approximately 100 projects per year, allowing us to operate efficiently, stay up-to-date with a variety of industries, and to maintain a diverse customer base.

At Nealis Engineering, our emphasis is always on providing cost effective solutions that offer value to our customers. Our colleagues in the business – architects and owners – have come to rely on our strengths in cost-estimating and value engineering, even when we aren’t involved in the design.

Recently projects completed include several schools (Leland Schools, East Jordan Schools, Old Mission Elementary, Grand Traverse Academy, Traverse Bay Community School, and several projects for Northwestern Michigan College), as well as clinics, community buildings, fire stations, and more. (See PORTFOLIO). Some are simple, single-story structures; some are complex high-rise commercial projects; and a significant portion of our work has been in the renovation and updating of engineering interfaces of older buildings.
