From early design through final installation, we help ensure every system meets stringent code requirements—including NFPA, IBC, and local jurisdiction standards—while maintaining functionality and aesthetics. Design-Assist Collaboration from Day One We engage early to help evaluate system selection, integration, and constructability: Aligning fire and smoke protection strategies with architectural layouts Coordinating with egress pathways and building systems Identifying potential conflicts before they impact the schedule or cost Proven Experience Across Complex Projects From healthcare facilities and high-rises to airports and large public venues, we’ve successfully delivered systems in environments where safety, reliability, and coordination are paramount. Advanced Specialty Security, Fire & Smoke Doors Systems We Deliver McKEON — Fire-Rated Door Systems Built for Performance

In close collaboration with Anderson Engineering of Minnesota (Plymouth) and Greenstone Construction (Fargo), our team is helping bring their project design vision to life at the new Women’s Clinic at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center. As we near completion of this project, we are delivering a highly specialized glazing package engineered to meet the rigorous performance and security requirements of Department of Defense (DoD) design standards. This project required far more than a conventional façade solution—it demanded a carefully engineered system capable of balancing security, performance, and architectural intent within a blast-mitigated environment. The completed VA Women’s Clinic will provide a wide range of healthcare services specifically for women Veterans, including primary care, whole health, mental health, reproductive health, and specialized care for conditions related to military service. The new facility is thoughtfully designed to centralize all women’s healthcare services in a dedicated location, with its own exterior entrance to enhance accessibility, privacy, and the patient experience.

Collaboration in Action: Bringing the HCMC Green Building Vision to Life

In collaboration with Studio BV Architects (Minneapolis) and Mission Construction (Minneapolis), we helped bring their design goals to life for Livefront’s Hospitality Lounge — realizing a vision centered on innovation, flexibility, and modern collaboration.

Luminous Barrisol® ceilings and walls use color-changing LED technology to shape atmosphere and support how a space is used throughout the day. Neutral tones suit everyday operations, while richer brand colors can highlight events, milestones, or special moments. Warmer hues create a welcoming feel for evening use or guest receptions, with digital controls allowing lighting to evolve as branding or needs change—without physical alterations. Extending the same approach into the vertical plane, Barrisol® luminous walls are built on a lightweight aluminum framework, with integrated lighting and translucent membranes. The result is a clean, softly glowing architectural surface that delivers uniform, glare-free illumination and visual calm. When ceilings and walls shift color in sync, the space gains depth and rhythm, subtly reinforcing brand presence and guiding movement through key areas without relying on signage.
