KEACH was founded in 2001 by Jeff Keach. Since then we have been filling the need for a design firm where the principal architect is directly involved day to day giving personal attention to the client. Currently, there are two full time professional staff in addition to Mr. Keach; all licensed architects. We are large enough to meet your needs, yet small enough to provide exceptional personal service.
KEACH has experience in designing many building types, and none of them starts with a preconceived notion about the solution or style. We believe you should do most of the talking at the onset of our relationship. You may have a well-defined project scope, or you may need help with programming of space needs. It is our desire to provide the highest level of design service to you, based on the discreet needs of your project. We love working with churches and have a long resume of happy clients.
KEACH has had opportunity to be involved with just about all project delivery methods including Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, and Partnering. If you are undecided on project delivery, we can offer you guidance. Let’s talk about a process that might work for you.
