Parking Consulting

“Smart” parking solutions consider the interaction of cars and people. Our understanding of the function and operations of parking places, together with our engineering expertise, results in parking facilities that are integrated, economical, durable and attractive. Our engineers work closely with owners and architects to develop parking facility designs that meet their operational and management needs.

A well-planned and functioning parking place is more profitable, better utilized and, of course, preferred by customers. We handle all aspects of parking facility design, from master planning to design and through construction. The internal workings of a parking place, such as parking access and revenue control equipment and vehicular and pedestrian way-finding graphics, are an integral part of the parking place design process.

Our custom designs take all of these aspects into account to provide a superior customer experience. When the facility is complete, we provide operational consulting services to help keep the parking place in working order.
