Goodhead was founded to provide the built environment with something we felt was missing:
support for design, engineering, and ownership grounded in integrity, innovation, and excellence.
Inspired by the idea of bringing integrity, innovation, and excellence to the design and owner communities, Simon Goodhead founded Goodhead Consulting Engineers (Goodhead) in March 2020. As he shared his vision, it strongly resonated with Christy Theisen. She joined the firm in January 2022 and, two years later, stepped into the role of President, guiding the company’s daily operations and growth.
Today, Goodhead is a small, female-owned engineering company specializing in creating innovative design solutions that address fire and life safety requirements in building and fire codes. Our clients include architects, general contractors, and owners, with projects ranging from the biggest and best to the smallest and most complex.
Unlike traditional fire code consultants, we do more than interpret what the code requires. Our role is to support the design vision by providing solutions that meet code intent without limiting creativity or adding unnecessary costs. This approach adds value for our clients and owners by aligning compliance with design excellence. Our team carries our founding ideals into every project, delivering superior technical expertise and attentive client service. We have supported new construction, adaptive reuse, tenant improvements, and historic renovations across a wide variety of sectors.
