Notable multi-decade engagements include Citigroup (20+ years across 50+ locations totaling over 1 million square feet), Bank of New York Mellon (2M+ sf across global locations), Mount Sinai Health System, the Smithsonian Institution, and multiple US state capitols. As of 2026, the firm operates 10 offices across the United States (New York, Durham, Gaithersburg, Houston, Parsippany, Philadelphia, Princeton, Washington DC), Jamaica (Kingston, opened 2023), and Canada (Toronto), with the Kingston office having grown from 10 to approximately 30 professionals under Jamaican-born CEO Oneil Gayle. The Healthcare Group alone, led by Principal Rahul Tikekar, is a 35-person operation generating over $8 million in annual revenue.

The firm is employee-owned and managed, with no disclosed external investors. In 2024, it achieved MBE (Minority Business Enterprise) certification in New York City, making it one of the largest and longest-standing building systems engineering firms to hold this designation.
