Each firm is well known for working collaboratively with community partners, fostering enduring client relationships and designing buildings that have a positive impact on the people who use them. LEWA’s strengths will be bolstered by FGMA’s robust operational infrastructure, new practice areas as well as regional markets. Collectively, we have expanded our skills, manpower and resources to serve both national and international clients.”
