Successful projects result from understanding the owner's viewpoint from the earliest planning documents and concept plans. We provide coordinated whole-building system design as well as standalone mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering services. We provide innovative, cost-effective structural design solutions that support aesthetically pleasing and functional buildings for our clients.
We are a group of designers capable of bringing multiple perspectives to any given project at any given time. We possess the flexibility to act improvisationally during all phases of a project, but most importantly early on in the design process when we can add the greatest value. Design research, discussions among interested parties and user input become the foundation for our design concepts.
Structural, mechanical and electrical considerations inform the architecture from the onset as well, so as we develop the conceptual design into construction documents there is a certain harmony to how the various parts interrelate.

Services
Gauthier, Alvarado & Associates was founded in 1975 on the strength of a single idea.
That architects, engineers, and planners under one roof, working together, all equal and important, would create a company stronger than its peers and buildings of superior quality and value.
The question is, when an architect in Boston can videoconference with a plumbing engineer in Bangalore over a cloud-shared model, is there still a value to having the trades under one roof?
Certainly, developments in technology have meant we're not the only ones anymore who can coordinate during a project instead of at the end.

Successful projects result from our architects and engineers understanding the owner's viewpoint which is incorporated into the earliest planning documents and concept plans.
We don't have or want a signature style; style and form result from the perspectives all parties bring to the project.
GAA was created as a firm that would easily work across disciplines.
We carry that attitude into all aspects of our architectural work, from planning, to programming, to design.
We consistently incorporate information and other viewpoints into our design process.

From the conceptual design phase through construction, our structural engineers are heavily involved in the design process to ensure the most economical structural systems are utilized and properly constructed.
We continually work alongside our architects and engineers to craft buildings that efficiently integrate structural elements with other buildings systems and are designed to last decades.

In new construction we integrate HVAC, Electrical, Plumbing, and Fire Protection systems to complement the architectural design while optimizing long-term building system performance.
While all building systems are connected, these trades are particularly inter-related, so our in-house coordination leads to greater integration, efficiency, and ultimately fewer change orders during construction.

Typically used by government agencies, term contracts are ongoing service agreements used to bypass the usual bidding process to expedite urgent construction projects.
In the field of architecture and engineering, these can include studies, investigations, reports, repairs, modifications, and upgrades.
A term contractor is pre-approved and must have their contract renewed on a regular basis, ensuring that all service providers are proven and trusted to produce quality work.
In our history, we have handled many term contracts and have never failed to be renewed to the full term of the contract.
