BONITA SPRINGS — Southfield, Michigan-based Atwell Group, a national consulting, design, engineering and construction services company, has merged with area landscape architecture and civil engineering firm Waldrop Engineering.

Financial terms of the transaction for Bonita Springs-based Waldrop, which provides professional design and entitlement services throughout Florida and the Southeast, weren’t disclosed.

Founded in 2000, Waldrop has additional offices in Fort Myers, Sarasota Tampa and Orlando, according to a  statement, along with the newest location in Asheville, North Carolina. The firm has “delivered hundreds of successful projects across the Southeast in such areas as master planned residential communities, golf course and destination resort communities, parks and open space, commercial and industrial developments and master drainage and infrastructure systems,” the release states.

Waldrop Founder and CEO Ron Waldrop, along with members of his leadership team, will be central to leading Atwell’s growing presence in Florida while being actively involved in expanding the business throughout the Southeast, the release states. “We are very excited to join forces with a team that shares the same cultural values, team collaboration and dedication to client service,” Waldrop Founder and CEO Ron Waldrop says in the statement. “After 21 years of significant growth and success, this opportunity provides our over 100 team members with expanded career opportunities and a platform to better serve our growing client base. I'm excited to be a part of Atwell’s employee-centric culture and contribute to their leadership, technical expertise and industry diversification."
