A little QAQC, a little problem solving and a little friendly competition!

Earlier this summer, Director of Architectural QAQC Bryce Bixby led a hands on QAQC challenge for the architecture team. Teams of three worked together to identify complex findings on an example project, bringing together colleagues from Buffalo, Manhattan, Philadelphia and remote locations.

A great way to sharpen our QAQC skills while working together and having some fun along the way.

Our architecture and engineering teams have worked to rehabilitate public housing in communities throughout Western NY and New York City, improving building amenities, site conditions, code compliance, and interiors across hundreds of units.

We’re also proud to support organizations like Habitat for Humanity and PUSH Buffalo, which works to expand affordable housing and strengthen our neighborhoods.

Bringing impact to housing isn’t always about building new. Sometimes, it’s about making improvements that bring efficiency, sustainability, and accessibility to the places people already call home.

This past weekend, part of our Philly team brought their energy and support to the runway! βœˆοΈπŸƒ Azar Design Co was a proud sponsor of the PHL 5K Run/Walk at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL).

Not your average 5K, this airfield race brought the community together under the backdrop of aviation aircraft landing and taking off, with educational exhibits and fun activities for local families. Best of all, proceeds benefit a few amazing local/chapter organizations including March of Dimes, Eastwick Friends & Neighbors Coalition (EFNC) and Eastwick United CDC (EU).
