At Rutherford + Chekene (R+C), we are a diverse group of thinkers, doers, and leaders. We design economical and complicated structures, we retrofit treasured historic landmarks, we seismically brace nonstructural elements, and we prepare the ground upon which buildings will safely stand. Our new building portfolio includes significant collaborations with internationally acclaimed architects on a variety of building types. We pride ourselves in our ability to provide creative and practical solutions that support great architectural visions. Our services also include seismic evaluations and retrofits of existing buildings. We have many new and exciting projects in the institutional and commercial sectors, both here in the U.S. and abroad.
