Early in their careers, Stinson Batchelor and Miley Kimball were colleagues at the reputable Atlanta mechanical firm Mallory & Evans. Batchelor was on the planning and project management side, Kimball in the field.
Kimball left M&E while Batchelor stayed on. They stayed close and began to realize their complementary strengths made them a good team. So, they went into business together with a resolve to do good work.
Almost a decade later, the firm welcomed Stinson’s son, David, a mechanical engineer who had led expansion projects for Northside Hospital and Piedmont Hospital while at another firm. Not long after, the company became a true family business, as Miley Kimball departed for retirement, though his name would remain on the door.
Key to B&K’s steady growth was the expansion of the company’s fabrication shop, which better prepared the firm to move faster on complex projects while lowering costs.

In time, a new generation of the Batchelor family joined the company with the hiring of David’s son, Brian.
Before being named CEO, Brian served as operations manager for the firm and orchestrated the firm’s construction and move to a new headquarters on Plunkett Road in Conyers. Fabrication capacity tripled – B&K now had a state-of-the-art, 90,000-square-foot shop.

Soon after, the construction leader EMCOR Group, Inc. acquired Batchelor & Kimball, adding resources on a national scale while retaining B&K’s leadership and specialization.
