We help clients with capital productivity in all business areas, project types, and stages: portfolio optimization, project concept and design, construction, contract and contractor management, contract close-out, and commissioning support.

Enduring Design that is Aesthetically and Imbued with Meaning. We believe that architecture is inextricably tied to use, place, client aspirations, and cultural traditions and that the greatest structures are those that cannot be imagined anywhere else in the world. Thus, it is our mission to provide clients with highly functional, intuitive design and engineering solutions that are sensitive in both scale and context to an ever-changing environment. We recognize the importance of each detail and respect its role as part of the whole. We believe that a refined science of engineering leads to the most efficient solutions. We believe the best engineering solutions result from collaboration with our clients and our multidisciplinary approach to design.

Our designs are sensitive to architectural goals that result in distinctive and timeless structures, while consistently incorporating sustainable design principles. Fundamental principles of engineering are used as the basis of our tall building and tower designs. These fundamentals are refined with the use of advanced analytical techniques and actual performance data obtained from construction. We carefully study the behavior of these structures in the wind environment to optimize the shape, orientation, and structural properties considering energy principles. We embrace sustainable design concepts using advanced computer optimization programs to minimize materials and integrate the structure with the architectural and mechanical systems. Our goal is to develop solutions that are readily constructible.

From roadways and transit systems to urban plazas and public spaces, we’re able to tie together the pieces that connect buildings and their environment. We implement bold ideas to solve pressing environmental concerns­—seeking efficiencies in utility, transportation, and infrastructure planning, and evaluating the impact of new developments on existing mechanical systems. Regardless of what challenge we’re working to solve, we bring innovative approaches and perspectives driven by deep research and empathy—helping organizations achieve strategic and creative transformation, operations-focused space and functional programming, operational improvements, change management, workplace strategy, equipment planning, and highly immersive transition, and activation planning.

Our global network of experts challenges traditional approaches to capital productivity and partner with industry leaders—including owners, operators, and investors—to align capital strategy, optimize portfolios, and transform project development and delivery across asset classes. At each stage, we connect boardroom strategies to the frontline to discover, create, and ultimately grow value for all participants in the value chain and build teams with the right skills to manage complex workstreams. By infusing technology and advanced analytics where and when it matters, combined with capability building, we drive impact on an end-to-end journey of capital transformation that results in reduced risks, saved money, accelerated progress, increased returns, and improved performance.

We support clients in aligning architectural design and public use objectives with capital and operational expenditure budgets. To ensure the long-term relevance of buildings, we advise clients on the strategic use of materials and on design, expansion, accessibility, and sustainability techniques. We support clients in corporate asset planning and prioritization, financial projections (including value engineering), and facility operating management models. We collaborate with independent specialty trade contractors (experts in structural steel, mechanical, electrical, piping, and architectural precast concrete panels) and prime contractors (site development, excavation, energy and public utilities, cast-in-place concrete, and complex cofferdam caissons). We combine knowledge of individual asset classes—transportation, metropolitan rail systems, and airport terminals—with distinct functional expertise.

Our wide range of capabilities and experience continues to play a crucial role in the management of complex, multisite programs. Our team of experts specializes in handling intricate architectural layouts and desired design solutions. Our roofing services include horizontal and vertical applications, composite wall panels, steel trusses, metal roofing, sheet metal, panelized metal-gauge framing, rooftops, parking deck canopies, awnings, and commercial roofing services and maintenance. We work closely with the nation’s premier manufacturers of glass and glazing materials, metal framing systems, and installation technologies. We provide design, engineering, fabrication, and installation of aluminum composite panel systems for the exterior walls of commercial, institutional, and industrial buildings. We offer gypsum ceiling and wallboard installation, taping, concrete coatings, fireproofing, industrial coating applications, and lead abatement.

Finish carpentry and furniture accessories are some of the final steps that require installation exterior cladding and millwork, flooring installation, movable partitions, and trim around doors and windowsill, as well as fitting the baseboards, crown molding, wainscoting, chair rail and stair railings. We provide commercial wall covering panels, decorative murals, and fresco ceilings. We also provide custom casework and finish accessories for public and private colleges and university academic and residence halls, hospitals, primary care, laboratories, medical research facilities, libraries, performing arts centers, schools, including schools serving those with special education needs, corporate offices, and conference rooms.
