Founded in 1948, SSOE is an international architecture, engineering, and construction management firm-the 11th largest in the US-that provides comprehensive services to diverse clients.

Our 21 locations across the US and China are committed to a set of attitudes and actions that distinguishes us in very tangible ways. Every project presents dozens of opportunities to save you time, trouble, and money if your resource is determined to find them. We are and we do. That is why we follow the principles of Lean manufacturing. We'll discover ways to condense schedules, trim the scope of the project, improve on standard solutions, and more. Adding value always comes first at SSOE; profitability and growth follow naturally. See where we rank in various markets and services.

Exceptional performance requires exceptional professionals, and those people are in high demand. We attract and retain high caliber staff by providing an environment (the benefits, flexibility, career opportunities) that has earned us numerous awards as a best place to work.

Decades ago we realized that using the latest technology on multiple phases of projects would be a hedge against clients' rising costs. We invest mightily to stay on the cutting edge, and it pays off for our clients in greater efficiency and accuracy.

Smart sustainability is on the radar of every SSOE design team. The "smart" refers to our approach - solutions that offer the greatest protection for the planet with an attractive ROI for the client. Check out our sustainability blog and our extensive work in alternative energy.
