Benchmark Group was founded in 1978 by Paul C. Parks, P.E., as an electrical engineering sole proprietorship. He later incorporated the business with the purpose of sharing ownership with his Staff. As we evolved and expanded our client base, we added additional engineering services and architecture to provide a wide range of solutions to our Clients. In 1987, the company name was changed to Benchmark Group to reflect the standard of excellence Paul expected based on W. Edward Deming’s Total Quality Management principles.

Benchmark has grown to be a respected engineering and architectural design firm working with large national chains, small local businesses, developers, and owners, with the same commitment to making our Clients happy. This has resulted in many long-term relationships with our Clients and referrals from them.

We connect with our Clients and communities we serve through a culture of collaboration and trust. Paul instilled a tradition of family first, quality practices, and customer service, but most of all he believed in always doing the right thing and lived by it every day. These values remain at the core foundation of our company and team at Benchmark Group.
