History

Design 1 was incorporated in 1989 as an Design and Construction firm. Our portfolio includes Wireless Communications, Senior Housing, Resort Condominiums, Historic Restoration, Retail, Office, Industrial and Pocket Neighborhoods/Eco-village Developments and renewable energy projects.

Design 1 is committed to moving forward in our business. We are constantly monitoring the changing technological environment, including green design concepts, and are educating our staff accordingly. As Design 1 employees, we are investors in our company; therefore it is to everyone's advantage that we are reliable, on budget, on time, and loyal to each other and our clients.

Mission

Our mission is to contribute world class design services to our clients. Our well-trained and highly motivated work force provides insight to our customers by an examination of their needs, evaluation of the site, and knowledge of their operations. At any phase of the project Design 1 can be relied upon to complete the job.

Philosophy

Proficiency

Design 1 combines imagination, experience, and technical expertise to provide the best possible solution for your design needs. We provide a team of design professionals with skills matched to the specific project requirements.

Documentation

Our planning and design process is strengthened by thorough project documentation of important client information and decisions. This information is distributed to the team, resulting in designs that respond more accurately to the clients goals.

Communications

Effective communications is one of the most vital aspects of the design process. We listen to the client, gain an understanding of the design needs, and respond to those needs intentionally through our design, while keeping the client up to date and informed throughout the process.

Memberships

We are proud members of NATE (National Association of Tower Erectors).
