What Triad Design Group does

Triad Design Group (TDG) is a privately-held architecture and engineering firm founded in 1994 and headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina, with a regional office in Charlotte. The firm delivers three integrated disciplines — architectural design, civil engineering, and structural engineering — from programming and feasibility through construction administration, and serves enterprise and mid-market clients across healthcare, industrial/manufacturing, office/corporate, aviation and transportation, retail, and senior living verticals. TDG's service model emphasizes single-point accountability by combining all three A/E disciplines in-house rather than subcontracting, and the firm has delivered projects including a 522,000 SF manufacturing headquarters (Ziehl-Abegg, NAIOP NC 2025 Industrial Project of the Year), a 78,695 SF Class 10 clean-room manufacturing facility (Qorvo), a 189,492 SF LEED Silver facility (Duke Energy), and multiple continuing-care retirement communities (Brightwater, Wellmore).

Revenue is generated on a project-based professional services model with custom, quote-based pricing tied to scope and complexity; the firm does not disclose pricing publicly. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales sourced through client relationships, referrals, and a project-portfolio website, with no resellers or marketplace channels. TDG employs between 11 and 50 staff, including licensed architects (AIA, NCARB, RA), professional engineers (PE), CAD technicians, designers, and an active intern pipeline; leadership comprises President Mark Michalak, Managing Principal/Senior Architect Rob Heffner, Principal/Chief Civil Engineer L. Allan Hill, Vice Presidents Matthew W. Johnson and Morgan Eidelman, and Structural Department Leader Stephen Batten. Technology stack is industry-standard (AutoCAD Civil 3D, Revit, BIM, Sketch-Up, Adobe Creative Suite); there is no proprietary software product, app, or API surface. The firm is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, M&A, or parent company.
