We have recently also expanded into retail and mercantile projects.
 
We are confident that the depth of expertise our history has provided and the breadth of our business channel offerings position us well for continued success through the next ten years and beyond.

I offer my most sincere thanks to all our loyal clients as well as the numerous talented architects, engineers, designers, contractors, tradesmen and vendors with whom we have partnered that have allowed us to enjoy this milestone.

      Wow...what an exciting example of how dynamic architecture can breathe new life
into a dated existing structure.  Not only did this transformation bring a drab
building into contemporary standards but the architecture itself has become a
billboard for the user/tenant making the building dramatically stand apart from
the rest of the streetscape...to see the full article, click the link below.

I am an avid supporter of adaptive reuse. We encourage our clients wherever possible to give serious consideration to re-purpose existing buildings. With thorough and diligent verification of existing conditions and systems such as super-structure, utility infrastructure, conveyance, etc along with proper qualification of their adaptability to the proposed new program significant project cost savings and schedule benefits can be realized.
