Company Profile

Projects - The firm's project list is extensive and indicates many repeat clients; possibly the highest recommendation a consulting engineering firm can achieve.  These projects have included educational facilities, libraries, retail stores, banks, restaurants, supermarkets, office complexes, malls, postal facilities, multi-family residential, high rise, and park/recreational facilities.   
  
Clients - Our clients cover the eastern seaboard from the Carolinas to Canada.  Today's electronic information transfer technology has virtually eliminated geography as a factor.  Instead, a client can now choose the best firms without concern of physical location.   
  
Commitment - Lindgren & Sharples, P.C. is uniquely qualified to manage projects both large and small.  Our manage­ment philosophy is to tailor the design team to match the level of effort necessary to meet the project schedule with the expertise and experience required for the project's particular requirements.  Our commitment to project management is best illustrated by our pledge of having a Principal of the firm involved in each and every project regardless of size.  He is responsible for the general project management.  For smaller projects, he may be the only team member.   
 

Management - Larger projects require a management style, which will give progressive direction and a more detailed schedule with critical milestones positively, identified.  A project plan is then established incorporating the detailed schedule to insure the mile­stone dates are achieved.  This requires a team effort.  The Principal then acts as Project Director.  A Project Manager is then assigned and is responsible for the day to day activities of each technical discipline required to meet the project objectives.  Projects requiring a heavy manpower assignment may require a team leader for each discipline to meet the project commitments of the Project Manager.   
  
Tracking - Our team members are supported by a full-time Administrative and Accounting Staff.  At the begin­ning of each project, hourly budgets are estab­lished for each task, and staff assignments are made and scheduled for each phase of the project.  Project performance is monitored weekly via our computer network system.  The information is gathered on a regular basis using standard spreadsheet and data base programs to provide up-to-date information of project performance and scheduling quickly, efficiently, and with greater detail than is possible with manual methods.   
   
Quality - Lindgren & Sharples, P.C. is dedicated to its embedded Quality Assurance Program.  From each project's inception to its final completion, senior staff is involved for consistent coordination among team members.  Quality reviews are initiated near the end of each task and a construct ability review of the final construction documents is completed prior to the issuance of Plans and Specifications for construction.   
  
Involvement - In addition to our weekly staff meetings, design review meetings are scheduled for each project.  The project team presents its project design to the senior staff, where a variety of design considerations and/or alternate methods are explored.  The free exchange of ideas is beneficial for everyone in­volved and adds to the quality of the project.   
  
Technology - Lindgren & Sharples, P.C. is committed to providing state-of-the art computer services.  Our heavy investment in the latest technology of both computer hardware and software is an on-going commitment and part of our corporate philosophy in providing the best service possible for all our clients.  In addition to our multi-task CAD stations, our software library includes programs for code reviews, equipment selection, computer assisted modeling, design, project management, and various administrative functions.
