Orlando Architecture & Engineering
TCG provides in-house architectural design, structural engineering, and MEP engineering licensed in all 50 states. Single-source design-build for Central Florida, with no handoff gaps between design and construction.
Integrated Architecture & Engineering in Central Florida
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, and Florida Building Code wind and humidity are 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.
