Albany Architecture & Engineering
TCG provides in-house architectural design, structural engineering, and MEP engineering licensed in all 50 states. Single-source design-build for the Capital Region, designed for New York code and climate.
Integrated Architecture & Engineering in New York
Most contractors hand design to an outside firm and inherit the coordination gaps. TCG runs architecture, structural engineering, and MEP engineering in-house, so design intent and constructability are reconciled before drawings are finished, with New York's energy code, snow loads, and SEQRA review designed in from the start.
That integration is the core of design-build. Paired with preconstruction and value engineering, it delivers code-compliant design that is priced and buildable, and compresses the overall schedule by 15 to 30 percent versus design-bid-build.
