What EVstudio does

EVstudio is a privately held, integrated architecture, engineering, and planning firm founded in 2006 and headquartered in Denver, Colorado, with additional offices in Colorado Springs and Boise, Idaho. The firm operates under the legal name EVstudio and is co-led by Dean Dalvit (AIA, P.E.) and Sean O'Hara (AIA) as co-founding principals. With approximately 80-100 employees across architecture, structural engineering, civil engineering, MEP engineering, land surveying, interior design, and field services, EVstudio delivers end-to-end project services from feasibility and entitlements through construction documents and field inspection. Its revenue is generated through project-based professional services engagements on a custom, quote-based pricing model with multi-year contracts, supplemented by ancillary transaction-fee revenue from ClientPay payment processing.

The firm's core offering combines in-house architecture and four engineering disciplines (structural, civil, and MEP) into a single multidisciplinary delivery model intended to eliminate coordination gaps and compress project timelines. Underlying technology is built on Building Information Modeling (BIM), Revit, and CAD-based collaborative design workflows. EVstudio extends this platform with proprietary methodologies including Alt-Mod™ for modular construction efficiency and EVolution Design Studio's Reversible Design™ and Reversible Buildings™ processes for deconstructable modular structures. The firm holds a Colorado Modular Dealer license (005128) with third-party inspection authority, and is licensed across multiple US states and Canadian provinces through NCARB and NCEES certifications.

EVstudio serves a diversified client base spanning multifamily and residential developers, healthcare providers, educational institutions, commercial and office owners, retail, industrial, hospitality, and worship institutions. Its go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, combining direct client engagement with thought leadership via an extensive online magazine (588+ architecture and 530+ engineering articles), industry event participation (World of Modular, NAHB, IBS, CREJ), and earned media coverage. Strategic partnerships with modular manufacturers such as Fading West and Vederra Modular position the firm within the offsite construction ecosystem, and a track record of 30+ industry awards since 2006 — including NAHB BALA, AIA, AIBD, and World of Modular recognition — supports brand credibility in regional and national markets.
