We provide structural and code analysis of existing buildings to help clients understand the current conditions of their building, define what steps may be necessary to bring it up to today’s code standards and give clear guidance on the impacts associated with proposed renovations. Our team takes pride in coming up with innovative solutions to maintain the integrity of historical buildings so they can be preserved and experienced for future generations. Site analysis is provided for owners and potential buyers to identify code and environmental constraints and highlight design opportunities to maximize the site’s potential and the client’s desires.

Whether starting with vacant land or a property with existing buildings, we provide clients with a comprehensive feasibility study to help them understand the limitations and possibilities of their project so they can plan accordingly from the beginning.

Our comprehensive, holistic design approach integrates all aspects of building design with engineers and architectural designers under one roof, allowing us to target efficiencies and make decisions early in the design process, streamline the project design schedule and achieve balance between the building’s aesthetics and budget. We believe each project is as unique as the client. We customize the scope of work accordingly to develop project plans and permit packages tailored for each project regardless of the project’s size, budget, or complexity. Our engineers have hands-on experience in the construction trades, so while maintaining the architectural intent of the design is of utmost importance, they have a deep understanding of the value of constructability and field ready drawings.

We stay engaged with the project throughout the construction process, routinely meeting with builders, contractors and building officials. This integrated approach allows us to ensure that the project stays on schedule and meets the client’s expectations, design intent and established budget. We encourage bringing the general contractor to the table during the design phase to establish a transparent working relationship, and to discuss constructability issues, trade sequencing and construction schedule. It is a priority of our team to listen to contractor’s questions and recommendations, to provide timely architectural and engineering support, and when necessary, make decisions in the field to keep the project moving forward.
