Your Local Network of A&E Experts

When it comes to commercial spaces, your company’s values and business processes are reflected in the way you design your office. You’ll want to choose an architect whose values align with your own, and who will take the time to understand your project and team requirements.

Larger firms are often more focused on quick project turnover, while smaller firms will take the time to understand your specific needs and offer more customized solutions to your commercial space.

Your Independent A&E Team

Finding the proper talent is essential to the success of any project. Do you require a technical whiz or a creative artist? Do you require assistance with planning, zoning, or code difficulties. Perhaps you require a force of common sense to represent you during the construction stage.

From planning to completion, we collaborate with owners of commercial buildings to assist them confidently add value to their investment. When constructing or altering your business structure, we make sure that the functional and esthetic requirements are met.

The very best is who you want on your side. We will accompany you throughout the building process and assist in determining the scope of work, developing an initial budget and timetable, creating a schematic design, and preparing details and drawings. A to Z.

Let's make your vision a reality

Each client and each project is remarkably unique.

You want to bring to life a beautifully designed building or structural modification. We provide common sense architecture and work together to reach your desired outcome.

 

Successful design is the result of combining various distinct concepts into a well-considered and properly executed unity

The journey we take to the final design isn’t necessarily linear, even though the processes mentioned below show a linear path.

It is an iterative process that results in a product; the product is not known from the start. The end outcome of taking the design process through to its logical conclusion is the final product.

The fact that we jointly construct custom design based on your unique scenario and requirements is what makes it so interesting and memorable.

You’ll have a well-designed structure and the shared experience of designing it at the conclusion of the process.

The Process

Site analysis, programming, existing conditions, budgeting, code review.

Basic design concept generation

Refinement of the selected design concept from phase 2

Detailed drawings, schedules and specs

Aid in contract award / negotiation with GC

Oversee construction + administration of the contract.

The phases are ordered sequentially and build on the work completed and agreed to in the previous phase. We begin with the broad and work our way down to the specific. There are numerous decisions to be made along the way, and this gradation organizes them into manageable chunks.

Construction observations to ensure integrity throughout the project

With decades of A&E experience, we use engineering analysis of structures and our judgment to create solutions to unique problems.

Projects vary widely in scope. We usually need to evaluate the current structure to be able to evaluate the project scope. We meet on-site to inspect an issue and discuss possible solutions or designs to address them. Design is an iterative process, so we continue dialogue with our clients throughout the process as we refine our preliminary design ideas into a final working solution.

The $275 I spent with LEVEL saved me more than $100,000 in potential repair costs.

Level Engineering came in, understood our situation and quickly turned around a clear concise structural observation letter that allowed me to complete my remodel. Very much appreciated!
Calvin S.
LEVEL came out and analyzed my sagging porch roof, determined it was a supporting post and sunk several inches over time and drew up a plan to jack up the beam, shim the post and attach metal brackets to brace the post and beam. Nice solution at a fair price.

They then helped me navigate communications with the city until they covered the $80,000+ to solve the problem.
Sandra B
We had a fantastic experience getting a structural survey for a home we were purchasing. The engineer Murray was incredibly helpful and friendly too. 10/10 would recommend Level Engineering!
