WB Engineers | Consultants is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, according to David Bonifacic and Vincent Warner, founders and managing principals of the firm.

Notable WB clients include Verizon, General Dynamics, Jones Lang LaSalle, Boston Properties, Tiffany & Co., Governors Island Preservation and Education Corp., Brookfield Properties, A/E/C Solutions, JPMorgan Chase, and Citibank.
