ZP Architects & Engineers

What ZP Architects & Engineers does

ZP Architects & Engineers is a privately held, full-service architecture and engineering firm headquartered in Denver, Colorado, with 6 employees and licensing in Colorado, South Dakota, and Wyoming. The firm is the second generation of the Denver-based A/E practice Zeiler-Pennock, founded circa 1970, and operates with a design-build methodology. Its core services combine licensed architectural design, structural engineering, and civil engineering delivered under one roof, supplemented by CAD facilities management for industrial clients and expertise in pre-engineered metal building design.

The firm's project portfolio spans government and municipal facilities (fire stations, sheriff's annexes, military housing, civic centers), educational facilities (K-12, charter schools, alternative energy projects), healthcare (human and veterinary hospitals, medical imaging clinics), manufacturing and distribution (notably a long-standing engagement with Sandoz Pharmaceuticals covering 200+ projects across a 338,000 SF, 23-acre facility), commercial, religious, and residential work. The firm shares office space with FMP Construction, a sister commercial builder, enabling integrated design-build delivery and cross-referral of clients.

ZP generates revenue through project-based professional service fees for design work from schematic design through construction administration, on a project-by-project basis dependent on scope, magnitude, and complexity. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led, driven by direct consultation requests, a portfolio-rich website, a content blog, and active social media presence across Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, Tumblr, and Pinterest. The firm is led by Principal Architect Jeanne Fielding, the primary client relationship contact.
