Overview
Wight & Company provides integrated design and delivery services by combining architecture, engineering, and construction under one roof. Its Design Led-Design Build approach brings design, engineering, and construction teams together early to streamline projects, supported by architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, MEP, structural, civil, and environmental engineering, plus construction management and general contracting. The firm differentiates itself through long-running, family-led leadership, a strong sustainability track record with LEED-certified projects, and commitments like AIA 2030 and SE 2050 to cut energy use and embodied carbon. Its goal is to deliver efficient, sustainable projects for public and private clients—moving toward net-zero buildings and lower environmental impact.
