Beers + Hoffman Architecture

What Beers + Hoffman Architecture does

Beers + Hoffman Architecture is a private professional architecture firm founded in 1983 and headquartered in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, with secondary offices in Lititz and Lebanon. The firm provides comprehensive architectural design and planning services — including creative architecture, master planning, facility and feasibility studies, building code analysis, 3D renderings and animations, sustainable design, permit drawings, and interior design — to institutional and commercial clients concentrated in Central and South Central Pennsylvania, with selected projects extending into New Jersey. Its practice spans seven verticals: religious congregations, K-12 educational institutions, and senior living communities are primary segments, with healthcare, commercial/corporate, municipal/government, and residential work rounding out the portfolio. Projects range from modest additions to facilities of approximately 200,000 square feet, and the firm counts multi-decade relationships with anchor clients including the Lebanon School District, Cornwall Lebanon School District, WellSpan Health, Cornwall Manor, Londonderry Village, and Lebanon County among its base of repeat engagements.

The firm's technical stack centers on Autodesk Revit-based Building Information Modeling (BIM), Virtual Reality visualization for client design reviews (led by a dedicated BIM Manager), 3D renderings and animations, and advanced scanning technology for existing-condition documentation on renovation and addition projects. It holds professional affiliations with the American Institute of Architects, the US Green Building Council, Autodesk certification, and the Pennsylvania School Boards Association (PSBA Alliance Partner, Bronze). The firm is independently owned by founding and current principals — Bob Beers, Robert P. Hoffman (AIA Emeritus), Scott Shonk (AIA, LEED AP), and Peter Kerekgyarto — with no disclosed external institutional investment.

Commercially, the firm operates on project-based professional services fees structured as fixed-fee or percentage-of-construction-cost arrangements, acquired primarily through direct client relationships, repeat work, referrals, and competitive design-bid and design-build delivery processes. In 2023 the firm absorbed Diversified Design as a wholly-owned interior design subsidiary, and in 2022 it relocated its Lebanon office into a larger space within the Lebanon Farmer's Market building. Successor-generation principals Scott Shonk and Peter Kerekgyarto now lead day-to-day operations alongside founder-era principal Robert P. Hoffman in an AIA Emeritus capacity.
