let’s chat

Our goal is delivering transformative value to you and your projects. It all starts with a conversation, preferably over a cup of coffee.

 

we add value

We build our team to best suit your project type and because of our vast network of A|E|C industry business owners and leaders, we can even help connect you with best-in-class marketers, surveyors, land planners, specialty engineers, commercial real estate brokers, attorneys, and more…

 

 

Who we are

We are seasoned Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (A|E|C) industry professionals who effectively produce tailored solutions for each of our unique clients. Our team brings decades of expertise to the table having been previously employed by some of the top national and multinational architecture and engineering firms of our generation. We’ve experienced many kinds of corporate cultures, and at the end of the day, we are the gals and guys that remain steadfast, focused on our common goal of exceeding client satisfaction by helping you create opportunities for transformative value, no matter the circumstances outside of the project. We value our relationships and strive to continuously forge partnerships with other like-minded, entrepreneurial professionals.

Maya Angelou once said: “Whatever you want to do, if you want to be great at it, you have to love it and be able to make sacrifices for it.”

At TOTEM Collaborative, we are first and foremost people. We are family-oriented individuals who integrate life with work, choosing to share our specialized talents, energy and perspectives with each other to benefit our clients and the communities we serve. We care about the world in both its natural and manmade forms. As professional services providers for the built environment, we believe our own actions, not only those of our clients, make tremendous impacts on our future generations. While the majority of our work experience is commercial in nature, we also serve select clients in the residential market sector with their multifamily housing developments, student dormitories, and specialty single-family projects.
