"catena provided us with economical solutions on a challenging historic preservation project. Their team is willing to look at projects with the Owner's perspective, rather than being confined by the technical boundaries sometimes imposed by Code officials. They are effective at converting that perspective into their design and project support. On the DeSoto Building renovation, they helped create saleable space to appeal to a variety of prospective tenants while meeting the City of Portland's stringent design criteria. Their design was carefully planned and they really delivered throughout the construction process."

"We are working with catena consulting engineers on a very challenging hospital project located on a very challenging site. There have been many opportunities for surprises and added structural costs between conceptual design and construction documents. We have been impressed with the fact that catena's vision for and approach to the structure has helped to avoid those pitfalls. They are constantly looking for ways to improve the constructability and economy of the structure. The experienced staff at catena is an asset to any project. They design the structure like they are paying for it themselves - safe, yet efficient."
