Sanderson Stewart Merges with Bellecci & Associates

BILLINGS, Montana – Sanderson Stewart, a 90-person firm with offices in Billings, Bozeman and Helena, Montana and Fort Collins, Colorado has merged with Bellecci, a 45-person company with offices in Concord and Pleasanton, California to form a new holding company, Sanderson Bellecci, Inc.

The new partnership creates a multi-discipline firm providing infrastructure engineering, community planning, surveying and mapping, landscape architecture, and communications and visualization services to public and private clients and communities across the West. Each firm will continue to operate under their current brand names but will function as a single enterprise under the leadership of CEO Michael Sanderson and the firm’s current local owner/principals.

“Sanderson Stewart and Bellecci, together, are a powerful combination. We have the same values and vision for the future, but now we have more capacity and more experts to better serve our clients,” said Michael Sanderson, CEO. “This is an exciting next step in the evolution of our business that will provide tremendous opportunities for our team members to grow their careers,” he added.

Frank Bellecci agreed that this strategic move strengthens the entire organization, saying “I am so excited about this merger as our values, character and approach are so aligned. Together, we will be a stronger organization and be able to bring more resources and services to our clients and more opportunities for our team members.”

Sanderson Stewart started in a garage in Billings, Montana, in 1969. Bob Sanderson and John Stewart knew then that the firm’s purpose would be more than just civil engineering and land surveying. They envisioned planning and designing enduring communities.

In 1983, Frank Bellecci started a civil engineering and surveying firm in Concord, California with similar aspirations – creating community through intelligent, responsible infrastructure.

The firms’ founders had a similar vision, and each knew it would take effort, sound engineering, and a relentless pursuit of their vision to achieve it. It is that foundation of enduring values of integrity, hard work, exceptional technical skills, grit, and a spirit of service, which will guide the firms into the future. It is our shared character and an approach built on outstanding relationships and tremendous care for the communities we operate in, from which Sanderson Bellecci has formed and will grow.

Sanderson Bellecci – is a progressive and growing engineering and community design firm focused on building better communities.
