Workplace
Forell Elsesser has a long-standing history of providing customized solutions for the unique and varied needs of each building owner. With extensive experience in determining the most cost-effective options for any project, we are always searching for ways to provide efficient service while creating equally efficient designs. In addition to designing new commercial buildings, we can evaluate the cost of retrofitting an old building or improving its interior to look like new—every solution is a tailored fit. Based in San Francisco, we are well-versed in the challenges associated with building in a tight, urban environment. Having solved such challenges before, we bring a particularly keen sense of how to navigate these projects, and keep costs down. As the prime consultant for many projects, we also have experience managing the necessary sub-consultants to complete a project quickly and efficiently. From small data centers in rural settings to large, historic re-adaptations downtown, Forell Elsesser has the experience and flexibility to meet the needs of any corporate, commercial, or developer client.
