What ADP Architects does

ADP Architects, P.A. (legal name: Architecture Design Plus, PA) is a private professional architectural services firm founded in 2007 by Glenn Walker, AIA, N.C.A.R.B. Certified, and headquartered at 1831 E. Overland Rd., Meridian, Idaho. The firm provides full-lifecycle commercial and industrial architectural design — schematic design, design development, construction documents, and construction administration — for clients across 24 U.S. states in which it holds architecture licenses. Its core service lines cover retail, restaurants, corporate offices, medical facilities, mixed-use developments, warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing plants, and R&D facilities, with supplementary offerings in sustainable/LEED-certified design, feasibility studies, site selection, building condition audits, and full-time site representation.

Technically, the firm relies on mainstream computer-aided drafting and design (CADD) systems — AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, and Lumion — for design documentation, 3D modeling, and rendering. A differentiated add-on service is in-house 3D architectural rendering and visualization (exterior, interior, animations, drone-enhanced site imagery) led by Anthony Walker, alongside licensed drone photography and videography. Technology is therefore a delivery enabler rather than a defensible platform.

Commercially, the firm operates as a B2B professional services practice using enterprise field sales and direct engagement (phone/email/referrals) with project-based, quote-driven pricing structured as a percentage of construction cost, hourly rates, or fixed fees. Revenue derives from fees charged across the architectural project lifecycle. The firm is entirely founder-owned with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or parent company, and operates with approximately 10 team members including architects, CAD drafters, and an operations/finance lead. Named enterprise references include Ferguson, Frito-Lay (PepsiCo), Bastian Solutions, State Farm, Wild Bill's Barbeque, and Einstein's Oilery.
