LAB Architects

What LAB Architects does

LAB Architects LLC is a privately held, full-service telecommunications architectural and engineering (A&E) consulting firm headquartered at 49030 Pontiac Trail, Suite 100, Wixom, Michigan. The firm provides site planning, design, permitting, construction inspection, audits, and project management for wireless communication sites, self-performing architectural services and managing premier contractors for geotechnical, structural, civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering. Its principal leadership comprises co-founder, Principal and COO Peter Lichomski (licensed architect in the US since 1998 and in Canada since 2012; LEED accredited since 2006; telecom industry experience since 1991), co-founder and Principal Jamie M. Abbgy, Esq., and partner Lee Burlison, combining deep telecom A&E expertise with site acquisition, zoning, legal, and real estate development capabilities.

LAB Architects' revenue model is professional services fee-based, generating income through consulting engagements priced on a quote, project-specific basis. It serves enterprise clients across three primary verticals: major US wireless carriers (Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Dish) plus regional carriers; tower companies (structural analysis, tower mapping, modifications, foundation design); and adjacent segments including telecom OEMs, EV charging infrastructure providers (Tesla, ChargePoint, EV GO), and financial-industry microwave networks. The firm delivers work across the US and parts of Canada through project offices established on an as-needed basis. Service breadth spans stealth sites, small cell, DAS, microwave back-haul, fiber design, hubs and switches, surveys, mechanical/electrical design, structural services, regulatory/NEPA/SHPO, geotechnical investigations, zoning, and permitting through to construction inspection and project management, positioning LAB as a turnkey alternative to fragmented single-discipline A&E vendors.

Its telecom practice competes with LAB on enterprise carrier design engagements as part of a much larger infrastructure portfolio.
