Our Firm
AKF Group LLC provides engineering, commissioning, testing, technology and lighting design services. Our goal is to continue to provide innovative design, quality service and technical leadership by offering services that go beyond traditional MEP engineering and respond to the ever changing dynamics of the marketplace.
Throughout the worlds of engineering, architecture and construction, AKF is recognized – by clients and colleagues alike – for the innovative, approach we bring to every assignment and we are proud to engineer excellence into every project.
AKF is known, too, for translating engineering opportunities into total, practical and technically superior engineering solutions, designed to serve not only the projects themselves, but also the individuals who work or live in them.
We approach an assignment both methodically and creatively. First, we offer specialized knowledge of every project's individual engineering components. Then we engineer these systems to work together for maximum integration. In our efforts, we take the long view: not only engineering for a client's solutions today, but also anticipating tomorrow's needs.
AKF operates as a single, firm-wide team. For each project, we mix and match our talents, forming smaller groups and contributing our individual expertise as particular projects demand. Further, because we are an "open" firm – we purposely have no stratified structure, no titles, no private offices – each engineer on a project has access to all of our staff, able to tap into the firm's total pool of knowledge and skills.
Our spirit of collaboration also embraces our clients. Each client has unfettered access to its AKF team leaders, who in turn serve as their partners on a project, and who are engaged on the front line to answer questions – and ask them – and to solve problems. This atmosphere of respect and candor throughout a project helps to sharpen and speed successful outcomes. The AKF spirit is one that attracts top men and women to our firm – from seasoned experts in their specialties to bright younger people. Today, more than 40% of our technical staff are licensed professional engineers.
