We believe EVERY project can be a signature, legacy project. As a firm, we are guided by excellence, loyalty and service. Our design philosophy centers on a common goal -- precisely addressing the needs of the client while creating thoughtful and creative designs within budgetary parameters. Because of our client-centric approach, we have a successful track record of solid, long-term client relationships resulting in continued work on varying projects over extended periods of time.Our disciplines lie within new construction, renovations and additions, including phased construction while buildings remain in operation. The success that we realize in each of our projects can be measured in real terms like initial cost, life-cycle cost, energy efficiency and ease of maintenance. Early involvement in the planning process greatly and positively contributes to a successful outcome. Also, our team-oriented structure and the superior project management that we employ, from planning through construction, allows us to communicate with clients in a timely and effective manner. We pride ourselves on open communication throughout the Design, Bid and Construction process.We are excited to continue to enrich our communities and create designs that improve the way we work, learn, play and live our lives.
