About
From Ideas to Action.
Drawing on decades of public- and private-sector experience, the firm was founded to give local governments a responsive, hands‑on partner that can serve as a bridge between the work of planning and development. Place Builders does this by integrating engineering principles and economic feasibility into every plan and study completed. This interdisciplinary approach ensures that recommendations are industry tested and ready to be applied.
