Our Story
History
McNamara/Salvia, Inc. was formed in 1987 when Founding Principals, Robert J. McNamara and Joseph A. Salvia purchased a regional office from a then restructuring parent company. Based in Boston they have been partnering in structural engineering for over 25 years. Mr. McNamara is a nationally recognized technical leader in the field of structural engineering, while Mr. Salvia enjoys helping our clients put together a successful business deal by providing innovative and cost-effective structural solutions. Together they have over 80 years of industry experience.
In 2007, Messrs, McNamara and Salvia relinquished the daily management of the firm to a new generation of Managing Principals. In 2008, the firm opened a second office in Miami to better serve our Florida clients and to bring our unique approach to structural engineering to the Florida market. Despite having only one office for most of our history, McNamara/Salvia has been active on projects well beyond Boston and New England. We have completed projects in 34 states and the District of Columbia, and abroad in places such as Egypt, the Philippines, and Venezuela.
Our Team
The McNamara/Salvia, Inc. team is comprised of over 50 staff members; including 23 registered professional engineers. We are licensed to practice engineering in over 40 states. The Production Department stays current on the latest versions of drafting software, and we are fully capable of delivering our projects using Building Information Modeling software. Though they have turned over the day to day rigors of running the office, Mr. McNamara and Mr. Salvia remain very active in firm. Mr. McNamara serves as a senior technical advisor and is involved with the firm’s complex structures and high-rise work. Mr. Salvia heads business development for the firm and works with the Managing Principals to develop innovative structural solutions for all of the firm’s projects.
The Boston office is directed by Principals Mark F. Aho, Neil A. Atkinson, Adam C. McCarthy, John S. Matuszewski, and Benjamin B. Wild, all of whom have been with the firm for at least 10 years. The Miami office is directed by Principal Andrew P. Sullivan. Mr. Sullivan previously opened and directed the Las Vegas office for a major national structural engineering firm. Prior to that, Mr. Sullivan spent 10 years in various capacities in the Tampa and Orlando markets under the flag of the same firm.
Experience

We specialize in all types of building structures including world-class medical, educational and research facilities, urban and suburban corporate headquarters and campuses, high-rise towers, retail, commercial and mixed use developments, and multi-unit residential structures. In addition, we have unique experience in such specialized structures as automated parking facilities, stadiums, both new construction and renovation, long span roofs, entertainment venues, air-rights projects, and the only indoor ski slope in North America.
Value
McNamara/Salvia, Inc. believes that constructing a building is a team effort, and we pride ourselves on working with the team to deliver a quality project on time and on budget. Early involvement by our experienced staff will ensure the proper selection of structural systems and avoid costly design and constructability problems down the road. In-depth technical design knowledge combined with a common sense understanding of the local construction business is essential for a project’s success. We recognize that if the project doesn’t work financially, there is no building.
