“I have worked with BARKER LEMAR from the time the company was founded in 1995. I have continually been impressed with the company’s abilities and professionalism. BARKER LEMAR’S company philosophy of working “for the client” and not “for themselves” is readily apparent in everything they do. So many times it seems that the “big companies” approach to bidding a project is to determine just how much they can charge and still get the business, while I wholly believe BARKER LEMAR’S approach to be that of determining just what they have to charge to get the job done, while being fair to the client and meeting their own financial needs. I would, without hesitation, recommend this company to anyone considering their services.”

Barker Lemar Engineering Consultants (BLEC) was initially incorporated as Barker Environmental Services in July 1995. It was the belief of its founders Mike Barker and Tracy Lemar that clients were best served in a partnership that brought value above expectations. Tracy brought his reputation for creative and innovative engineering and Mike brought his expertise and strong group of partners in the solid waste industry. With this foundation BLEC established a benchmark and company philosophy that is committed to relationship building and the use of leading technologies to bring value to our partners.
In 1997 Tim Buelow joined Mike and Tracy as a principal. Tim brought his background and reputation for detailed problem solving and a full list of partners in the UST industry. Over the years BLEC has recruited some of the best engineers, geologist, environmental scientist and technicians. Using the same philosophy of exceeding expectations with our staff we have grown an average 25% per year over the past 17 years.
Bringing value to our partners is the core of our success and we understand and promote this mission. Over the past 17 years we have saved our clients millions by improving function and efficiencies using the latest technologies. The ability to develop and maintain a partnership is mentored throughout our staff and is at the heart of BLEC. If you find yourself in need of a partner give BLEC a call.
