Our verification notes
One of the few Georgia firms carrying both engineering and architecture, which matters because the FEMA Floodproofing Certificate accepts either a registered PE or a registered architect. That specific certificate work is not itself documented and should not be assumed. Note the Savannah office moved in 2024; an older address still circulates in 2023-era records.
