A F Alber is a general contractor. Today we build from drawings prepared by our clients' architects. We want to offer design and construction under one contract, and we are looking for the architecture and engineering firms to do it with.
For 39 years our work has started with an architect's set: prototype stores for national brands, fast-casual restaurants, hearing clinics, and tenant interiors in malls and shopping centers. We know what a drawing set needs before a building department and a landlord will accept it, and where a detail that looks fine on paper costs time in the field.
Some of our oldest client relationships came from architects. The firms that designed the Electronics Boutique stores we built referred us to Time Factory and Timex.
We are not going to call ourselves a design-build contractor until we have the design firms to back it up. This page is how we find them.
If your firm designs retail, restaurant or medical-office interiors in the states where we build, we would like to meet before there is a project on the table. We would agree on how the two firms work together, who holds the contract and how the design fee is carried, and then take it to clients together.
