2024 Small Business of the Year, Burian & Associates

Since its founding in 2020, this civil engineering and consulting firm has established itself as a dynamic and growing force to be reckoned with. Burian & Associates has been taking the lead with best-in-class services and providing trusted solutions for their clients’ success. 

Starting a business in the middle of the pandemic posed several challenges, but that didn’t stop Burian & Associates, who took the opportunity to revamp their market strategy to include new types of clients. With this new strategy, and a commitment to excellence, innovation and strong relationships, the firm began hitting their stride ... and quickly.  

Since day one, Burian & Associates has increased its revenue by well over 500% and have greatly expanded their staff and regional impact. For example, the firm has played a key role in metro projects, such as the Red River Valley Water Supply Project, and has also had a seat at the table to provide expert insight when it comes to The City of Fargo’s 50-year growth plan and other regional impact efforts. 

The firm shows no signs of slowing down, and will also be opening an office in Grand Forks, and will also be expanding its project area into Minnesota and North Dakota. With new team members and a larger footprint, Burian & Associates has big goals and targets to hit, but they are posed for even greater success and growth.  

Their adaptability, creative solutions, and client-first approach have set them apart in a competitive industry. 

From navigating the challenges of the pandemic to overcoming recruitment obstacles and establishing strategic partnerships, Burian & Associates has lived by their core values demonstrated resilience and determination every step of the way. Their dedication to excellence and their community-focused approach make them truly deserving of being named The Chamber’s 2024 Small Business of the Year award. 

Congratulations to Burian and Associates for your outstanding achievements and contributions to our business community.
