About Cedar

Our Values

Collaboration

A successful construction project is predicated on a design team’s ability to communicate the design intent of its consultants.

CEDAR emphasizes constant collaboration and teamwork, from conceptual design through construction, to ensure the client’s vision becomes reality.

Efficiency

CEDAR is capable of meeting the budget and scheduling demands of the construction industry by using integrated software, employing practical design methodologies, and synchronizing drafting with engineering.

Dedication

CEDAR prides itself in the dedication to the satisfaction of each client, plus the project’s integration in the community at large. By trusting CEDAR with their projects, clients are rewarded with personal investment in both projects success and client satisfaction.

Attentiveness

At CEDAR, structural integrity is of the utmost importance. From overall structural behavior down to the intricacies of detailing, CEDAR provides comprehensive and thorough engineering design in compliance with governing building codes.

Our attention to detail is consistent across all project types. Kitchen remodels and master bedroom additions receive the same high level of attention as multi-story custom residential estates.

Responsiveness

CEDAR’S unique approach to project management coupled with its personal dedication to client satisfaction allow the firm to respond quickly to the ever-changing demands of clients and consultants.

By skillfully prioritizing projects with a proven approach, CEDAR consistently shows itself to be a reliable component in advancing construction schedules to assist in timely project completion.
