Sweet Partnerships: Celebrating Over 100 Projects with Coffman Engineers

At Bernardo Wills, we believe the best collaborations are built on trust, teamwork, and maybe a little ice cream.

Recently, our team was treated to a surprise visit from our longtime friends at Coffman Engineers—complete with Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and sunshine on the patio. It was a sweet gesture that reminded us just how much we value the relationships behind the work we do.

Over the years, Bernardo Wills and Coffman Engineers have partnered on more than 100 projects across the greater Spokane region. From schools and civic buildings to commercial spaces and community hubs, we’ve tackled complex challenges side by side—always with the shared goal of delivering exceptional results to our clients and our community.

Great design doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It requires collaboration across disciplines, clear communication, and mutual respect. The longstanding partnership between our firms exemplifies all of those things, and this small moment of celebration reminded us just how far we’ve come together.

We’re incredibly thankful to Coffman Engineers—not just for the sweet treat, but for the years of innovation, problem-solving, and shared success. We’re proud of the legacy we’ve built together and excited about the work still to come.

Here’s to great partners, sunny patios, and a few more scoops of teamwork.
