Overview
Alliance is a multidisciplinary architect-engineer (A-E) firm delivering architecture, civil, and fire protection design for federal, military, healthcare, and mission-critical facilities. Our licensed architects, professional engineers, and technical specialists bring deep knowledge of the Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC), the International Building and Fire Codes, NFPA standards, and agency-specific design guides to every project for the Department of Defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and other federal agencies.
We carry projects from planning and concept design through final design and construction administration, on both Design-Build (DB) and Design-Bid-Build (DBB) delivery — including the preparation of design-build RFPs. Our services span architectural design, from space planning and concepts to detailed construction documents; civil and site design, including grading, stormwater, utility, and transportation infrastructure; and fire protection and life-safety design, covering code analyses, suppression, fire alarm, and mass notification systems. Every discipline is coordinated in Revit and BIM, so drawings, specifications, and calculations arrive coordinated and constructible.
Because our designers work alongside Alliance’s planning and cost engineering teams, design decisions are priced as they are made. This integrated approach lets us anticipate constructability issues, meet federal requirements such as anti-terrorism/force protection (AT/FP), sustainability, and resilience, and optimize both initial capital costs and long-term operations and maintenance.
