Let’s get to know more about BASE4.

BASE4 is a team of award-winning architects, engineers, and interior designers who live at the intersection of technological innovation and premier building design. Their goal has always been to harness the latest technologies, especially as they usher in the paradigm shift into the fourth industrialization.

BASE4 is one of the very few AEC firms that sell products as opposed to services. This approach helps them quantify and organize their workflow efficiency. With this approach they optimize their design processes with automation, virtual reality design, and continual improvement of collaborative systems. BASE4 supports all AEC stakeholders–including developers, GCs, manufacturers, and others–in Strategy Consultation, Total Industrialized Construction Advisory (DfMA), Advanced BIM Consultation, Building Code Consultation, Value Engineering, Simulated Reality Extension, Data Restructuring, and Operational Standardization.

As AEC futurists, our goal is to integrate the internal efforts of our industry and—more importantly—work together to fix every broken aspect of the system.

The BASE4 team works with developers and general contractors to rethink traditional building methods by infusing innovative technology, forward-thinking design, and offsite manufacturing principles to build projects CHEAPER and FASTER!
