While working at Reavely Engineers, Mr. Baggaley obtained his Utah Professional Engineers license and his Utah Structrual Engineers license. Mr. Baggaley’s representative projects at Reaveley Engineers included the LDS Nauvoo Temple, Utah State University Performance Halls, and the Salt Lake City Veterans Administration Office Building as well as major additions to the Salt Lake International Airport. In particular, Mr. Baggaley enjoyed the challenge of investigating and retrofitting the seismic capacity of older structures to increase earthquake safety. Mr. Baggaley’s seismic evaluation and retrofit projects included the 1958 Salt Lake International Airport Terminal 1, the Brigham Young University (BYU) Brewster Building, BYU McKay Building, BYU Helaman Halls buildings, and the Utah State University Edith Bowen School of Elementary Education.  In 1998, Mr. Baggaley started his own real estate investment and property management company, Baggaley Enterprises LLC. Mr. Baggaley established this company as a side venture to his engineering employment. Through this company Mr. Baggaley invested in multiple residential and commercial real estate properties. As an owner of this company, Mr. Baggaley used his construction and engineering experience to construct, improve and subdivide investment properties to increase rental income and property values.  In 2006 Mr. Baggaley accepted a position with CH2MHill as the lead structural engineer to oversee the completion and build out of the Intel/Micron microchip manufacturing plant in Lehi Utah.

During this time, Mr. Baggaley increased his property investments and used his construction expertise to build multiple homes in Park City, Millcreek, and Holladay, Utah. When the economy improved Mr. Baggaley returned to full employment with Stanley Consultants.
