From a small Memphis office to a regional team serving communities across the Mid-South—and partnering with clients nationwide—our people, our projects, and our purpose continue to move us forward.

We’ve grown in size, reach, and expertise, but the heart of our work remains the same: Service and Good Work.

The mission stays steady.

O.L. Pickering founded our firm in 1946 with a clear vision: Service and Good Work.

That mission was simple, but powerful. And nearly 80 years later, it’s still the cornerstone of everything we do.

From a small civil and surveying office in Downtown Memphis to a full-service firm serving communities across the Mid-South, our story is one of steady growth, deep relationships, and a commitment to doing things the right way.

We think O.L. would be proud of what we've built—and even more proud of what’s still ahead.

👉 Have a memory with Pickering through the years? We’d love to hear it.

👷‍♀️👷‍♂️Great design isn’t just about what happens at a desk—it’s about how ideas come to life in the field. That’s why our Facilities Design team has been stepping out of the office and onto active job sites, gaining firsthand insight into material performance, construction techniques, and what truly makes a design work.

These visits are making a real impact—helping our team fine-tune details, think like contractors, and collaborate more effectively.
