HNTB

HNTB is an infrastructure engineering and architecture firm. Its website states it "helps create infrastructure that best meets the unique demands of its environment," offering "industry-leading expertise across a full spectrum of infrastructure solutions." The firm's published expertise areas, listed as its service categories, are Advisory, Architecture, Aviation, Bridges, Construction Management, Design Build, Digital Infrastructure Solutions, Highways, Integrated Planning, Program Management, Tolls, Transit and Rail, Tunnels, Water, and High-Speed Rail. HNTB describes itself as re-thinking mobility "with more than a century of service."

HNTB's offices are located across more than 30 U.S. states, with more than 100 offices in total, including several Texas locations. One of those is an Austin, TX office (its published address and phone are covered in a separate document; details there are Austin-specific and not firm-wide). For detail on a given service, the site directs visitors to individual expertise pages such as highways, transit and rail, aviation, bridges, tunnels, and water.

HNTB publishes general contact channels on its Contact page rather than a public pricing list. The page names a general inquiries contact, Patricia Mosher, for questions about the firm, and states that job seekers should use the separate careers page rather than this contact for employment inquiries. For "special assistance for persons with disabilities or limited English proficiency," the page publishes the phone number 816-527-2600. It also references a formal Title VI Complaint Process for nondiscrimination complaints under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The Contact page does not publish a physical mailing address, office hours, a general phone number for sales or project inquiries, or an online contact form. It does not publish pricing, cost, rates, fees, a quote process, or a cost estimate for any HNTB service, and it does not describe a way to book, schedule, or request an appointment online.

HNTB publishes an Austin, Texas office among its more than 100 U.S. locations. The published street address is 200 W 6th St., Ste. 2400, Austin, TX 78701, and the published phone number for this office is 512-447-5590. The Austin listing sits on HNTB's national locations page alongside offices in other Texas cities and dozens of other states; the Austin entry itself adds no further street-level description beyond the address and phone number.

This detail is specific to the Austin office and distinct from firm-wide material: next to the Austin listing, HNTB's site publishes the following regulatory note, which is not published for HNTB generally: "Texas architectural registration number 11413; Certificate of authority number 16770." This is the only registration or certificate detail published for the Austin location; no other Texas-specific licenses or certifications are listed there.

HNTB describes its history in general terms rather than with a specific founding date. Its About page states, "With more than a century of service, we're re-thinking the future of mobility to leave a permanent impact," and separately, in multiple places on the same page, that "HNTB's ideals have sustained us for 110 years." The page does not publish an exact founding year, a founder's name, or a headquarters address.

HNTB is employee-owned. The site states: "When you participate in the HNTB Ownership Plan, you become an employee owner of the firm," and that "Since its inception in 2000, the HNTB Ownership Plan has been a critical part of HNTB's culture — strengthening our unity of purpose and deepening the connection between employees and the firm's long-term success." The About page also lists Values, Corporate Responsibility, Leadership, Featured People, Fellows, and Events as further topics, but the page content read does not include a specific employee headcount, awards, industry rankings, or named leadership biographies.

HNTB lists Highways as one of its published expertise areas, stating it is "committed to delivering transportation programs that improve mobility and quality of life in communities nationwide." Under this expertise area, the site lists these highways-related services: Program and Construction Management, Digital Infrastructure Solutions, Planning and Design, Grant Services, Advisory, and Environmental Services. The firm states its approach relies on "collaboration, top industry expertise and unrivaled technical excellence."

The highways page functions mainly as an overview linking to featured highway projects and insights articles rather than a detailed service specification. It does not describe specific project methodologies, delivery timelines, staffing, or technology platforms, and it does not name which of HNTB's offices — including the Austin, TX office — perform highways work in any specific area or region. No pricing, cost, rates, fees, quote, or estimate information is published for highways services on this page.

HNTB lists Transit and Rail as one of its published expertise areas. The site states: "Through the delivery of innovative public transit solutions, HNTB is partnering with transit authorities to better connect people and places in communities across the country. We plan, design and construct rail and public transportation systems and facilities for all modes." It describes offering "fully integrated services for all phases of the project life cycle including feasibility studies, planning, environmental review, conceptual design, final design and construction management."

Specific solutions listed on the page include Planning and Design, Digital Infrastructure Solutions, Federal Transit Administration Support, Grant Services, Public Involvement and Outreach, Project Delivery, Program and Construction Management, Fleet and Facilities, and High-Speed Rail. The page does not detail post-construction operations or maintenance services, funding mechanisms beyond grant services, ridership optimization, fare systems, or passenger experience design, and it does not identify which offices, including Austin, TX, work on transit and rail projects in a given area.
