Our services include

Pre-Construction

  • Evaluate programming, space issues and current codes
  • Provide reliably accurate conceptual budget estimating during the schematic design section of the process
  • Interface with Utilities (PG&E, PAC Bell)

Engineering and BIM

Owners and general contractors need to know their design goals are never compromised by cost considerations. That’s why we outsource both our engineering and Bim design. This separation of disciplines offers a reliable system of checks and balances so Decker can identify the best engineer for each project, based on workload and areas of expertise.
