Our History

In 1964, E.M. Bennett, joined by Rex T. Pless, founded Bennett & Pless, Inc. With a passion for complex structural engineering projects, the firm established a reputation for being an industry leader in niche markets. As a result, the firm has developed specialized skills and attracts highly experienced engineers.

Through 50+ years of creating exceptional client experiences, we have become the largest single-discipline structural firm in the southeast. Our eight offices share demonstrated structural talent, recognizing that we are “Better Together.”

The firm has offices in multiple states in the US, but provides specialty services across the country and internationally. Bennett & Pless’ sister company BPL Enclosure provides enclosure and ETFE engineering throughout the US and Western Europe.
