A Legacy of Service to Clients and Communities

Wightman History

Wightman’s legacy began over 78 years ago, in 1946, when the firm was established in St. Joseph, Michigan, to meet the engineering and surveying needs of municipalities in southwestern Michigan. In 2000, Wightman relocated its flagship office to Benton Harbor to accommodate growth. As the needs of our clients expanded, so did our expertise, team, and geographical reach.

Today, Wightman specializes in serving government entities as well as the commercial, energy, and education sectors throughout Michigan, Indiana, and the Great Lakes region.

Our growth journey includes opening additional offices across Michigan to meet increasing demand. Locations in Allegan and Kalamazoo support our expanding workforce, while a field office in Hastings was established in 2019 through the acquisition of Reynolds Land Surveying. In the same year, we extended our reach to eastern Michigan with a new office in Royal Oak, followed by the Southgate location in 2022. Most recently, in October 2024, we proudly acquired Mitchell & Morse Land Surveying, further strengthening our presence in South Haven.

Our expansion also spilled over into Indiana, starting in 2021 with the addition of Lang, Feeney, & Associates, Inc., along with its subsidiaries: Creekside Mortgage Surveys, R.E. Daake & Associates, and Plymouth Land Survey & Design. This resulted in two new office locations in the Hoosier State: South Bend and Plymouth. In 2023, we continued to support new clients through the addition of a satellite office in Plymouth. In 2024, the acquisition of Gouloff-Jordan Surveying & Design, Inc. led to the establishment of our Fort Wayne office. These milestones enable us to deepen relationships with existing clients while welcoming new ones.

As we’ve grown, so have the services we offer. Wightman is proud to be a single-source partner, delivering integrated solutions with in-house expertise in civil engineering, surveying, architectural design, GIS, interior design, and reality capture. Our comprehensive approach ensures that we meet the evolving needs of our clients now and into the future.
