G&A’s three senior engineers, Mr. Grantham, Mr. Robinson, and Ms. Pierson, have all worked in construction. This hands-on experience instilled in them the importance of providing clear and accurate construction plans and documents, and addressing constructability issues during the design. In order to stay current on construction materials and practices, they collectively maintain an extensive network of contractor, client, vendor, franchise utility, and governmental agency resources.
