Our Philosophy: "Attitude is Everything"
At AMC, we believe having the right attitude is everything. We “can do.” Our goal is to satisfy our clients’ engineering needs with innovative, cost-effective design that works right the first time. We know that building occupants and staff remain long after the final construction inspection and the warranty period – their satisfaction is our ultimate goal.
At AMC Engineers, we live by several guidelines:
- Integrity is the foundation of all our relationships.
- We adhere to a "Value-added" philosophy. We build quality in; it's never an afterthought.
- "The consultant recommends; the client decides."
- Do it right the first time. "If there isn't time to do it right the first time, when will there be time to do it again?"
Integrity - We Follow the Four-Way Test:
- Is it the TRUTH?
- Is it FAIR to all concerned?
- Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
- Is it BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
Value-Added Quality Design is Our Hallmark
The required level of design can only be defined by the Owner.
Consider that wood is used by framers, finish carpenters and furniture craftsmen alike. The product of each trade is "fit for purpose." Furniture is not inherently of "higher quality" than framing, it just meets a different need at a higher cost.
Engineering must be tailored to a similar understanding of the Owner's purposes, goals and budget. With imagination and good engineering we consistently achieve quality results on-time, within budget and with the Owner’s needs in mind.
The Consultant Recommends; the Client Decides
Our clients are actively involved throughout the project. AMC's project managers and design engineers actively seek owner and client input throughout every step of the design process. Where possible, AMC's engineers work with end users to meet their stated needs. The success of our designs is demonstrated clearly by our extensive list of repeat customers. We are committed to designing high quality buildings and facilities.
If there isn't time to do it right the first time, when will there be time to do it again?
