Our team of experts offers comprehensive services to a diverse range of clients in the built environment, such as architects, building owners, government agencies, and local authorities. Regardless of industry, we help these clients achieve scalability, adaptability, and resilience for their people and locations.
Achieve Scalability, Adaptability + Resilience
Our comprehensive services support the built environment, addressing a wide range of needs - from accessibility and universal design to mass timber consulting, life safety assessments, and wildfire risk mitigation. This work helps make our world safer, more secure, and more resilient. Accessibility, in particular, poses complex challenges due to the intricate web of overlapping laws, codes, standards, and initiatives governing this area. Meanwhile, mass timber continues to demonstrate its potential for resilient, aesthetically-pleasing design. Across all our work, our diverse team of specialists is committed to enhancing the resiliency of people, properties, assets, and operations against the growing array of wildland fire hazards, risks, and vulnerabilities.
EXPERT GUIDANCE FOR YOUR PROJECTS
Accessibility + Universal Design Consulting
Accessibility is impacted by overlapping laws, codes, standards, and initiatives which can make it more challenging than other aspects of the developing environment. Our team of experts can help navigate overlaps between the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Fair Housing Act (FHA), International Building Code (IBC), and local or campus amendments to find the best solutions for your projects. We also support the removal of additional access barriers by advocating for universal design opportunities to improve the overall experiences of the community and individual end users.
KNOWING CURRENT CODE + WHAT’S AHEAD
Code Consulting + Performance Based Design
Our building and fire code experts collaborate with architects, developers, owners, construction firms, design-build teams and jurisdictions. Not only do we stay apprised of regulatory updates needed for your projects, but we also work on creative applications for modern materials and methods that have not yet been widely adopted in building and fire code regulations.
Your Facility’s Partner in Remaining Compliant with The Life Safety Code
Life Safety Assessments
Health Care systems are continually challenged to properly assess their compliance with the Life Safety Code® (NFPA 101), understand the interpretations and exceptions to the Code, and maintain compliance through cost-effective measures. Partnering with our health care safety consultants makes these complex requirements achievable, while bringing positive, reliable outcomes in the event of an emergency.
We've been here since the beginning
Mass Timber Consulting
Our experts were involved with the development and early application of mass timber criteria years before the International Code Council (ICC) adopted mass timber provisions in 2015. We serve on mass timber university studio panels, consult with wood laboratories and provide education to clients and industry associations to support ever-developing, modern uses for these green building products.
RESILIENT + INTEGRATED WILDLAND FIRE SOLUTIONS
Wildfire Risk Mitigation
Development and recreation within our natural environments are contributing to an increased risk of wildfire and its negative impacts to life and property. When combined with increasingly dynamic climate cycles, our natural world and communities remain at risk without informed preparation. Our team of 500+ diverse specialists are committed to supporting the resiliency of people, properties, assets, and operations through an increasingly complex range of hazards, risks, and vulnerabilities due to wildland fires.
