Rhodes Architecture & Engineering

What Rhodes Architecture & Engineering does

Rhodes Architecture & Engineering (Rhodes A+E) is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, founded in 2020 and operating with 1-10 employees. The firm provides architectural design, engineering coordination, planning, and consulting services to federal, state, municipal, educational, transportation, industrial, religious, and high-end residential clients. It operates as a unified professional services practice rather than a platform-plus-modules business, with work delivered directly to public-sector buyers and through subcontractor relationships with prime firms such as Pond-Michael Baker, Pond & Company, and KBJ Architects.

The company's core technology is Building Information Modeling (BIM), used as the underlying 3D digital modeling and documentation platform across its nine service lines: Architectural Design, Facility Assessments, Feasibility Studies, Engineering Coordination, Sustainable Design Consulting, BIM, Master Planning, Space Programming, and Interior Design. Project execution spans facility assessments through interior design, with engineering coordination integrating mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and structural disciplines within the architectural scope. Notable engagements include the University of North Florida Alumni Hall Catering Kitchen Addition, Jacksonville Regional Transportation Center, RED HORSE Readiness and Training Facility at Joint Base Charleston, Rhode Island Air National Guard Fire Station, and Fort Benning Barracks Renovation.

Rhodes A+E generates revenue through project-based, custom-quoted professional services fees billed under multi-year contracts. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by scope, complexity, and client requirements. Go-to-market combines direct field sales to federal, state, and municipal buyers, leveraging SDVOSB and VBE certifications for set-aside contract eligibility, with parallel subcontractor partnerships that provide access to oversized transportation and military projects. Customer segments are organized by vertical, with federal government, municipal government, educational institutions, transportation facilities, and industrial facilities marked as primary, and religious institutions and high-end residential as secondary. Operating geographies span the Southeastern U.S. with specific project presence in Florida, Rhode Island, and Georgia.
