John Harvey, SE, DBIA, LEED AP BD+C 
Principal
John’s success is the result of his deep technical background and an outgoing personality as large as the projects he engineers. He is a big-picture thinker who seeks to explore the limits of the status quo by developing new approaches that enhance overall value and development. His work as lead designer and Structural Engineer of Record has won National DBIA awards, including Best in Engineering Design. His optimistic and determined demeanor drove Buehler to open our now-vibrant San Francisco office and lead Buehler Parking Studio, which focuses on parking structure design. John strives to work together with a team of engaged individuals to create the much sought after “wow factor” in every project.
