About

Our Mission is to Elevate

We believe that excellence is a steadfast commitment and constant endeavor. We seek to elevate our team, our clients, our city, and our global environment in everything we do.

That means embracing a mindset of continuous improvement to support our collective and individual growth.

Elevating our community in this way requires discipline. We strive for excellence and don’t shy away from a challenge. Once challenges are overcome, we never rest on our laurels. Where others might say, “good enough,” we set our sights even higher — raising the bar on what’s possible.

Embedded in
Oregon Communities

Many people on our team come from Oregon universities. Oregon is our home. We play in the Cascades and we bike through town to get to work. We have a steady volunteer presence to causes we care about. With deep roots in the Willamette Valley and Central Oregon, we’re dedicated to elevating the communities around us through creativity, discipline, and forward vision. We’ve cultivated relationships with private and public sector champions who not only share our commitment to environmental sustainability, but also seek to uplift the communities we serve.

These relationships — with architects, contractors, educators, researchers, public servants, and entrepreneurs — are multi-dimensional and allow us to learn about and connect more deeply to the region we call home.
