Client Login Contact Us OUR HISTORY Manhard Consulting traces its roots back to 1972, when Donald Manhard, Sr. opened Donald Manhard Associates in Vernon Hills, Illinois. Starting with three staff members, early projects included the Village of Riverwoods, Illinois, Lincolnshire Corporate Center in Lincolnshire, Illinois and Del Mar Woods in Bannockburn, Illinois. In 1982, son, Donald Manhard, Jr. began his career at the firm as a staff engineer. The following year, son, Peter Manhard joined the firm as a staff engineer. Over the next ten years, the firm grew in size from eight staff members to thirty and the client base grew to include over 1,000 different companies and municipalities. Don and Peter envisioned the firm growing further in size and in geographic coverage. So, in 1992, with their father’s blessings, they established Manhard Consulting. Today, after nearly five decades, the Manhard name is synonymous with quality and dedication to our clients. With more than 275 employees, ten offices across the United States and over 10,000 clients, Manhard Consulting continues to lead the industry as one of the most responsive, innovative and technologically advanced civil engineering and surveying firms in the country.
