The foundation of our project management philosophy is to make our client’s job easier. We understand that everyone has a vision for their project and it is our responsibility to execute it. That is why we maintain a flexible yet structured and proactive approach to working with our clients.
Project Management
Estimation and Value Engineering
Whether a design-build contract or strictly fabrication, our estimation team collaborates with clients and designers to ensure the project falls within the budget. We research various materials and methods of fabrication to stay cost effective. Our goal is to provide a solution that meets the budget while maintaining the integrity of the design intent.
CAD Engineering
Our detailers use the latest versions of AutoCAD, Revit, and CorelDRAW. We begin with the end in mind; to us that means reviewing design documents and immediately considering its “buildability”. Our intention is to engineer a product that is functional, durable, and easy to maintain.
AV Programming and Integration
Our AV technicians design, engineer, and integrate audio visual systems for all types of signage and exhibit products. Whether it is an immersive theater program with integrated lighting effects or an interactive digital signage system we make sure to provide a program that is functional, organized, and easy to maintain.
Graphic Design
Our graphic design team performs graphic layout set up and adjustments, color management, graphic file management and organization, image scanning, handling of source material, corrections to digital files and proofs, image quality control, and obtaining use rights and licenses.
Graphic Production
We produce a wide variety of graphic output right here in our own graphic production shop. Our in-house capabilities include interior and exterior grade digital prints and panels, floor-to-ceiling wallpaper murals, tactile graphics and braille plaques, vinyl lettering and etched vinyl images, and direct to substrate printing.
Custom Woodworking
Our craftsmen and women utilize a wide variety of state-of-the-art equipment for all aspects of woodworking and cabinet-making. We fabricate everything from western red cedar signage structures for the National Park Service to conservation cases that house original copies of the Declaration of Independence.
Custom Metal Work
Our metal shop works regularly with aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and other commonly used metals. We have the capability to perform all aspects of custom metal fabrication such as cutting metals, bending metals, and arc, mig, and tig welding techniques.
CNC Machining
Our CNC department produces all manner of complex shapes and curves, three-dimensional objects, and tactile elements for our signage and exhibit projects. We have the capability to work with acrylic, ACM, copper, brass, aluminum, PVC, foam, and MDF.
Finishing
The finishing department ensures our signage and exhibit structures are finished to a high quality standard. We apply techniques that encompass all aspects of sanding, priming, painting, staining, and color matching.
