Supporting who we work with...
We would like to take a moment to thank all our manufacturers' product representatives and various disciplines' consultants for all their help over the years. We constantly request, receive, and strive to implement information and recommendations that these colleagues regularly provide.
Over the past several years we have added staff, and the pace of our work, the number of clients, and the amount of projects and deliverables has continued to grow. This growth is attributable to the quality of our client relationship, but also to the consistent body of quality documents we produce for our clients, and that relies on our community of product rep's and consultants. Meeting the demand of the market's rapid growth relies on effectively accounting for product and material changes, evolution of industry standards, and on-going awareness of advances in design, science and engineering, and for this we rely on these collaborators.
We count on their continued availability and willingness to contribute to the success of our clients’ projects, and by extension our own success -- So thank you! We hope the manufacturers and suppliers you represent are aware of the value we place in you and the efforts you make to assist us, our clients, and their projects.

Voices we are paying attention to...
Communities around the world and within our own country have been ignored, broken apart, disenfranchised and otherwise separated for far too long. It is past the time that we should be listening rather than hearing, witnessing rather than noticing, and involving rather than administering-to. We support the efforts of the groups below through donations as well as active participation, and encourage you to do the same for those people and groups that resonate with you.
Some may say that we do this out of a business sensibility, an advertising or profit motive even, but this is simply not the case. We feel strongly the opposite, in fact – That these actions are a continuation and improvement of our already strong and long-held sense of rightness, along with acknowledging our own fallibility as a humans, to ultimately utilize the resources of this business to strengthen our voices.
We are taking this further and making it more than just about us or this company. We have empowered staff to spearhead their own initiatives and they have already begun moving farther along than one business alone could have, connecting with our colleagues and clients, professors and fellow students, making valuable decisions and setting action well on the way to reality.
