Architects produce drawings; builders produce buildings.
Construction is a collaborative process where the contractor, subcontractors, architect, engineers, and clients must all work together.

We take an active role in guiding the construction process, insuring the integrity of the work and the appropriateness of building components and details. Both firm principals have built with their own two hands and understand the possibilities and limitations inherent in building systems. We climb the scaffolding, build mock-ups, do layouts, and review every aspect of the construction as it rises from the ground.

Whether the project is bid or a negotiated contract, Abacus resolves the design and technical issues to insure that what is built meets the needs of the client, balancing cost, schedule, and quality. Our involvement during construction turns great design ideas into great buildings that endure.
