LBYD was founded in 1973 with the incorporation of

E. Glenn Bishop & Associates. In 1978, with the merger of the structural engineering firm Lane & Hodnett Structural Engineers, the firm became Lane/Bishop/Hodnett, Inc. In 1987, the firm became Lane Bishop York Delahay  Inc., which is known today as LBYD Engineers. In 2001, LBYD began offering civil engineering services. With the addition of the civil department and the continued commitment of our structural department, LBYD has experienced growth at a phenomenal rate.

We continue to pursue growth opportunities evidenced by opening more branch offices throughout the Southeast region.
