Architectural Design
Architectural Design
Designs that meet needs now and into the future.
Our in-house architectural team specializes in designing education and municipal facilities. They collaborate closely with clients to create spaces that transform communities, featuring modern designs that inspire learning, foster collaboration and provide optimal indoor environments.
Design-Build Construction
Design-Build Construction
A design-to-budget approach with sole accountability.
As a design-builder, we bring together a cohesive team from various disciplines to eliminate gaps between the design and construction processes. This approach allows for greater team collaboration and ensures the client avoids finger-pointing that comes with separate contracts for design and construction.
Educational Planning
Educational Planning
Design solutions that keep space utilization at the forefront.
Every school district faces unique challenges. To cater to each district’s needs, Educational Planners are essential members of our design team. They work with our clients to examine educational requirements, growth capacity, learning environments, and more before proposing design solutions. Our comprehensive facility studies ensure we design spaces built better for students and teachers.
Energy Leadership Program
Energy Leadership Program
Behavioral-based programs that save energy and money.
We help K-12 schools and higher education institutions implement effective energy conservation programs. Our programs lower carbon footprints, encourage sustainability, and provide student leadership opportunities while being cash-flow positive and making a measurable impact.
Facilities Studies
Facilities Studies
A roadmap to prioritize future improvements and deferred maintenance.
Before starting a facility project, our engineers conduct a comprehensive facility study or investment-grade audit. They thoroughly assess the facility’s physical condition, functionality, safety, and suitability of buildings and infrastructure, as well as cost estimates for potential solutions. We do this as a way to help you prioritize and build a roadmap of renovations and upgrades.
Energy Savings Performance Contracts
Energy Savings Performance Contracts
A budget-neutral approach that offers a path to complete infrastructure projects.
Performance contracting provides schools and local governments with a flexible funding mechanism to finance infrastructure projects, including solar installations. This approach allows you to avoid capital costs for deferred maintenance and fund improvements through the energy savings generated by those enhancements.
Smart City Solutions
Smart City Solutions
Technology that enhances city services.
Implement smart infrastructure to improve your community’s quality of life. These solutions reduce energy consumption and cut maintenance and operations costs. Our smart city solutions include on-site power generation, networked LED streetlights, smart water meters, wastewater treatment upgrades, EV chargers, and more.
Solar Power Solutions
Solar Power Solutions
Engineered solar designs that guarantee performance.
Our in-house solar development and operations teams take a comprehensive approach to designing solar projects. They assure right-sized solutions that meet facility usage needs. They manage the project from design to installation, providing performance monitoring and reporting throughout.
Water and Wastewater Solutions
Water and Wastewater Solutions
Improvements that save energy and reduce operating costs.
We partner with cities, towns, and counties to determine which water and wastewater solutions could have the biggest impact on the bottom line. We offer smart water meters, advanced metering infrastructures, and wastewater treatment upgrades through performance contracts.
