The Watry Buehler Collaborative, LLP (WBC) provides a wide range of planning, engineering, and parking design services.  WBC was founded in 2014 as a partnership between Mr. Nick Watry and Buehler Engineering, Inc. (BUEHLER). Together as WBC, our mission is to provide exceptional parking planning that is integrated seamlessly with the structural system.  Utilizing the experience and industry expertise of Mr. Watry and BUEHLER, WBC will be able to maximize parking layout, overall garage efficiency, value, and user experience.  We are dedicated to understanding the overall project needs and goals to offer design solutions that enhance and add value.

WBC was founded on over 100 years of design experience.  Mr. Nick Watry is recognized as a premier architect and engineer for the design of parking facilities, receiving numerous design excellence awards from the International Parking Institute.  During his 41 year professional career, Mr. Watry has been responsible for the design of over 1,000 parking facilities, including projects throughout the Western United States.  BUEHLER has provided award winning structural engineering services on over 7,500 projects throughout the United States, with experience ranging from international airports, professional sport complexes, parking structures, education, healthcare, and institutional projects for public and private clients.

WBC takes an integrated approach to project delivery utilizing Lean Construction principles as we seek to optimize efficiency through all phases of design, fabrication, and construction.  All of our projects utilize 3D building model software to provide enhanced design services by integrating structural models with other disciplines and facilitating construction support.  Similarly, our 3D building models integrate with models prepared by construction trade partners to allow building systems to be coordinated and prefabricated, avoiding the time consuming field coordination required with traditional approaches.

As industry leaders, we actively participate in organizations including International Parking Institute, National Parking Associations, International Partnering Institute, Post-tensioning Institute, Structural Engineers Association of California, Applied Technology Counsel, American Institute of Steel Construction, American Concrete Institute, Lean Construction Institute, American Institute of Architects, Design Build Institute of America, and U.S. Green Building Council.  We have DBIA certified and LEED Accredited Professionals on staff.  Our unique and successful in-house training program brings the knowledge from these activities to our entire staff.

WBC is dedicated to providing efficient, elegant, and innovative design through a collaborative environment, while maintaining the highest quality, exceptional service, and industry leadership.
