67 years, four offices, and plenty of milestones along the way. Bohannan Huston was founded on July 20, 1959, in Albuquerque. Since then, we’ve grown across New Mexico and Colorado, expanded our teams in Denver and Grand Junction, and recently celebrated a new chapter with the opening of our new Las Cruces office. While our footprint continues to grow, our focus remains the same: great people, strong partnerships, and work that supports the communities we call home. Happy anniversary, BHI. Here’s to 67 years and what comes next.

New space, same Las Cruces roots.

Field visits give early-career team members a real look at project delivery in action. Members of the BHI Construction team recently hosted a group of summer interns for a site visit to the Los Lunas Boulevard Corridor project, providing a firsthand look at an active construction site and the coordination behind a major infrastructure project. During the visit, attendees learned about construction site safety, field observations, project roles, and construction delivery, and met with project team members from BHI, the Village of Los Lunas, and El Terrero Construction. The visit was a great opportunity to connect learning with real-world project experience on a major infrastructure project. Bohannan Huston helped design this interchange and corridor project and is now providing construction management services for the Village of Los Lunas. Thank you to everyone who joined us on this field trip and to the project team for an informative tour! #CareerDevelopment #CivilEngineering #SiteVisit
