This moves the project along smoothly with fewer delays and reduces the number of costly change orders during the building of the project.

Our team believes in high quality construction documents at a reasonable cost for every Client. This begins with open lines of communication, quick response time by us, and attention to details – all which set our highly skilled team above the competition.

“Guss Jahchan, AIA, and his team at Benchmark Group, have handled a crucial and important Value-Engineering exercise for one of our corporate stores in Virginia. They had developed and maintained our present corporate prototype, while they were able to point out areas of savings, without jeopardizing the aesthetics or the quality of our store.  We at Propelled Brands, have found the Benchmark team to be highly professional while keeping our interest at the forefront of their work.  Our plan is to continue to work with Benchmark Group for our architectural and engineering (A&E) needs and recommend them to others that need full professional A&E assistance.

“Our Experience with the team at Benchmark was fantastic! They did a great job of interpreting what we wanted and suggesting what would be a good fit. The little details in design made a difference. They were responsive to questions, very accommodating to changes, and easy to do business with. We are very happy and would recommend their services.”

“Benchmark came to our attention years ago when we built a church in Rogers. When we learned they worked for Walmart and were licensed in all 50 States, we figured they could follow us around the country, understood how to work with a demanding client, understood tight schedules and understood how to create cost-effective engineering solutions. It’s been a great partnership from the very start. It’s the reason we ask new architectural partners to team with them on our projects.”

Director of Preconstruction, Goff Companies

“Guss Jahchan, AIA, and his team at Benchmark Group have handled a crucial and important project for us at CEC.
CEC contracted Benchmark Group to deliver the architectural, engineering, and permitting services for this project, belonging to a national client. 

The client’s prerequisite was that the facility needed to be user-friendly, where the employees feel excited about coming to work daily.  Benchmark architects and engineers, developed and maintained our client’s vision while keeping the budget and schedule in check at all times.  Their efficient design called for the use of clerestory that was oriented North, to help bring in the Northern light, thus lessening the use of energy, while bringing in natural light without glare and/or heat.  This design will save money in the long run, without a doubt.

We at CEC, have found the Benchmark team to be highly professional while keeping our interest at the forefront of their work.  Our plan is to continue to use Benchmark Group for our architectural and engineering (A&E) needs and recommend them to others.”
