Our legacy is rooted in the specialization in post-tensioned concrete foundation design, when our Founder, Mr. Richard Martter, a pioneer in the field, designed the first post-tensioning anchors which are still widely used today. Since that time, we have grown to offer fully integrated architecture, planning, design, interior design, structural engineering, visualization, sustainability and energy compliance, surveying, materials quantification, and structural inspection services. We hope that you will appreciate the vast diversity and quality of design and engineering that is a direct result of not only function and site environment, but of client vision and market placement.
