Overview
Morris & Ritchie Associates plans and designs buildings, development sites and infrastructure for private developers and public agencies in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. Its architects and engineers prepare building layouts, structural plans and civil designs for grading, drainage and utilities. Surveyors collect site information, while designers prepare plans for outdoor spaces that support development approvals and construction. The firm earns fees for professional planning, design and construction-administration services, coordinating its disciplines around client projects. Founded in 1979, the privately held practice is headquartered in Abingdon, Maryland.
