Architectural design and construction services for specialized facilities
GMA is a 11–50-person architecture firm based in St. Louis focused on design-build and construction administration. The tech stack is almost entirely Autodesk—Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks, Forma—with SketchUp and visualization tools (Lumion, Enscape) layered on top. Active projects cluster around BIM standardization and Revit customization, and the same pain points (expanding BIM standards, maintaining BIM libraries, Revit efficiency) appear twice in their challenge list, signaling that BIM maturity is a live organizational bottleneck they're actively working to solve.
GMA provides architectural services including design, project management, master planning, interior design, space planning, construction administration, and historic renovation. The firm specializes in complex facility types: temperature-controlled buildings, high-hazard storage, multi-family housing, entertainment venues, and flight training facilities. Work follows a collaborative design-build model, combining creative design with cost and functional fit. The team is design-heavy (3 design roles actively hiring), with supporting construction and engineering staff, reflecting a practice rooted in front-end concept and detailed design delivery rather than project management alone.
Primary tools are Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks, and Autodesk Forma. Visualization is handled by SketchUp, Lumion, and Enscape. Technical backend includes DynamoDB, C#, and .NET Framework.
Specializations include temperature-controlled facilities, high-hazard storage, multi-family housing, entertainment venues, flight training facilities, historic renovations, and commercial laundries.
