Justice/Civic/Governmental
Whether it’s the retrofit of an American landmark that has served the public for generations or a new civic construction meeting the strictest building codes (or both at once), we have the expertise and experience of few other firms when it comes to government work.
Our long-standing history with the AOC has made us an international presence in the industry, and our innovative approach to courthouse construction has proven essential to providing customized solutions to meet the needs of each community. Whether it is a structural study or a massive construction project, Forell | Elsesser has kept these projects on schedule and on budget time and time again.
