ABOUT
Choose a Qualified
& Experienced Engineering Team

ColeBreit Engineering is a woman-owned MEP engineering firm (MWBE-certified in Oregon, Washington, and California, and with the federal government), offering a suite of fully integrated engineering and design services. Laura Breit founded the firm in 2013 with the vision of providing the highest quality, hands-on, client-focused design and engineering services. That focus along with her excellent reputation among builders, owners and architects helped her quickly grow the company from a solo operation to a well-established team of 17. In 2022, ColeBreit purchased Axiom Engineers, which was owned by Laura's father, and has successfully merged the two firms into the vibrant 50+ person company that it is today. ColeBreit now has six offices: Bend, Medford and Eugene, Oregon and Monterey, Napa and Santa Cruz, California.

 

ColeBreit’s success has always been based on providing quality, integrity and expertise along with an unwavering commitment to excellent work. Though our team has grown, ColeBreit still embraces a personal approach that remains hands-on and collaborative, providing a positive project experience for clients. Our territory of projects extends throughout the Pacific Northwest, Northern California, and beyond.

DIVERSITY & EQUALITY IN THE

WORKPLACE & ON PROJECTS

 

We are a qualified and experienced woman-owned engineering firm majority-owned by Laura Breit. ColeBreit understands that bringing in different views, experiences, and beliefs makes every team and project stronger. Our engineers use their talents and deep knowledge to make the world a better and safer place for all. Our leadership team believes that diversity and equal opportunity are part of the foundation of any successful company, and ColeBreit is dedicated to encouraging a supportive and inclusive culture among its employees.

COLLABORATIVE & COMMUNITY-BASED ENGINEERING

A well-established collaborative model allows our team to work in partnership with clients from all over the country. ColeBreit’s depth of experience covers nearly every project type – civic, educational, commercial, healthcare, residential, hospitality, industrial, high-tech, wineries, as well as projects with historic preservation or sustainability goals.

 

With offices in Bend, Eugene, Medford, Monterey, Napa and Santa Cruz, ColeBreit is a community-oriented firm and our team intentionally chooses to put down roots in the areas where they live, work, and volunteer. We believe in being an integral part of the communities we serve, whether working in major metro areas or their bedroom communities. ColeBreit delights in taking on projects that benefit our neighbors, including affordable housing communities, veterans’ communities, food co-ops, homeless shelters, and cultural centers.
