What Kodet Architectural Group does

Kodet Architectural Group is a privately held architecture firm based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The firm provides architectural design, interior design, master planning, construction documents, construction administration, LEED-related sustainable design support, and historic preservation/restoration services. Its client base is concentrated in educational institutions, religious organizations, municipal and civic entities, and historic restoration projects, with named work for school, county, city, church, fire district, and transportation-agency clients.

The firm's delivery model is professional services rather than product software. Its technical toolkit includes 3D visualization, computer modeling with AutoCAD and Revit, cost-estimate takeoffs, sustainable design methods, ADA and accessibility analysis, and compliance-oriented restoration work under historic preservation standards. Project examples include public works facilities, charter and K-8 school expansions, library renovations, church additions, fire halls, dormitories, and adaptive reuse/restoration assignments.

Kodet monetizes through project-based architecture and consulting fees, typically tied to project scope, complexity, construction administration needs, and construction cost. Go-to-market is relationship- and reputation-led: the firm uses direct client engagement, RFP/public works processes, repeat multi-phase client relationships, portfolio case studies, awards, and community/stakeholder engagement rather than a scalable digital channel.
