Philosophy
Above all, we are responsive to our clients' needs and serve them in a professional manner. We strive to building strong relationships and we pride ourselves with our high percentage of repeat business.
On all projects, we stress the importance of design excellence with an emphasis on detailed construction documentation. This results in fewer change orders during construction. We work to exceed technical, financial and scheduling goals on all project deliverables.
Each project is completed in a timely manner, within its written scope of services, and within its budget. Our dedicated team of engineers works with clients from schematics to final construction.
Revit (BIM)
Orndorf & Associates, Inc. is proficient in Revit. This software allows for seamless integration with Revit Architecture and Revit MEP, enabling us to create a comprehensive building information model (BIM). BIM encompasses the use of a consistent, coordinated, and computable building model, as well as accurate construction documents and cost estimations. Revit enables us to work collaboratively with our architectural clients, streamlining coordination efforts and providing new opportunities for collaboration.
