Our Work is “in the bones” of Thousands of Buildings Nationwide

Classic Engineering provides structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering for new construction and renovation of “classic” buildings. Our services include building modeling and preparation of construction documents in Revit and AutoCad.

Based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Classic Engineering has been involved in a number of projects changing the city skyline over the past two decades.

Throughout Michigan, the Midwest and around the country, Classic Engineering’s work on thousands of projects over 20 years can be found “in the bones” of all categories of buildings. Hotels, health care facilities, commercial and residential construction, multi-family, senior and independent-living projects, educational, government and church buildings are in our portfolio of work.

Our History

Founded Under the Leadership and Entrepreneurial Spirit of Doug Huyser, PE in 1998

After many years of dedicated service, our founder, Doug Huyser, has decided to retire. Doug has been instrumental in the success and growth of Classic Engineering, and we are grateful for his leadership and commitment throughout the years.

As we bid farewell to Doug, we are excited to announce a new chapter for Classic Engineering. We are pleased to introduce Jason Kuhnle, PE SE as the new owner of Classic Engineering. Jason brings a wealth of experience as a structural engineer in the industry and a commitment to upholding the high standards of service and excellence that you have come to expect from our company.

We want to assure you that this change in ownership will not impact the quality of service you receive from Classic Engineering. Jason is dedicated to maintaining the strong relationships we have built with our clients, and he is eager to continue providing the exceptional engineering solutions that have been a hallmark of our company.

Please join us in welcoming Jason to the Classic Engineering family. We are confident that under his leadership, the company will continue to thrive and exceed expectations.

Classic Engineering continues to include several key team members who have worked together for many years and bring strong design and project experience to create a portfolio of work across a varied span of construction work.

Like most smaller firms, Classic Engineering provides our clients with individualized service and professional attention to the critical details essential for success. Yet we have the staff, facilities and resources to organize a comprehensive, multi-disciplined project design team, a characteristic usually found only in larger firms.

 
 
 

Many Minds. One Place.

The most valuable service we offer has nothing to do with calculations or CAD drawings (although we are quite adept with both). Rather, our claim to fame is the way in which we've managed to bring all kinds of engineering connoisseurs, with various areas of expertise, together under a single roof. This specialized diversity allows us to integrate any, or all, of their strengths into a streamlined, full-force team -saving you time, money and maybe even a few headaches.
