Landscape Architectural Design Firm with 40 Year Strong Reputation
Business Description
This Northern California landscape architectural design firm performs a wide variety of public and private based projects. They design attractive, functional, and inspiring spaces which promote environmental stewardship and achieve economic, ecological, and social change. Over the years, the firm has established a reputation of quality and integrity within the industry that is unsurpassed by their peers.
Approximately 40% of their workload are public based projects, including parks, civic/institutional, state led facilities (fire, police) urban, and transportation related jobs. Approximately 60% are private developer led projects such as master planned developments, streetscapes, entry monumentation, and production home design.
Average project fees range from $25,000 to $60,000. They currently have almost 500K in backlogged work.
Their typical client base exists of local and national home builders and public municipal agencies (city, county, state and local park districts).
They have established close working relationships with allied A/E entities, including architects, structural engineers, civil engineers, electrical engineers, key industry product manufacturers and vendors.
A buyer could easily transition into the company leadership, as the current owner is willing to continue to work for 2-4 years (post close), focusing on what he does best and enjoys most: mentoring the staff and advocating recruitment of personnel, as well as providing oversight on projects and design direction and developing new projects to build the pipeline.
