Innovative construction products and techniques are constantly being introduced, offering advantages in strength, weight, workability, longevity, or environmental footprint. Sometimes a "space age" material is the perfect solution for the restoration of a 300-year-old monument. We relentlessly seek out and apply the latest proven materials, methods, and information technologies on behalf of our clients and their projects.
We have created, and continue to develop proprietary software for procedures that integrate construction drawings, specifications, cost estimating, scheduling, construction administration, and asset management of buildings and infrastructure.
Our full time research and development (R&D) effort keeps us at the forefront of developing technologies. We maintain a dedicated laboratory in which we construct prototypes of devices, and conduct trials of new techniques and methods.
A dedicated R&D capability is highly unusual for a conventional professional firm, but it's consistent with our commitment to advancement of the profession. Our efforts have been recognized by the National Science Foundation, which has awarded us grants to underwrite our research.
Although our work is primarily local, our reputation is international. We've hosted delegations of construction professionals from as far away as Japan, who have been attracted by our reputation for advanced technology and systems. They learn from us, and we learn from them, so that our clients benefit from the best that the world has to offer.
