We are well versed in large project delivery, with construction budgets ranging up to 125 million dollars and hundreds of thousands of square feet of facility.

HEALTHCARE AND RESEARCH

From cancer treatment and research to weather modeling and silicon wafer metrology, our wide experience range benefits the user, design and construction team to assure a cohesive project approach that delivers the programmed end product. Flexible and forward-thinking electrical and telecommunications installations are critical in such applications to assure that present and future needs are accommodated in a cost-effective manner.

PUBLIC SPACES
