Frankfurt Short Bruza Associates PC

When you work with our firm, you'll reap the benefits of partnering with an outstanding team that focuses on your needs and objectives. Our in-house team of award-winning architects and interior designers are joined by an equally talented, full-spectrum group of engineering professionals providing expertise in civil, structural, mechanical, electrical and fire protection engineering. With more than 175 awards and five AIA "Firm of the Year" honors to our name, we listen to our clients, share knowledge, research alternatives and imagine new ways to solve the challenges for each individual project.

Mechanical engineering plays a significant role in the comfort, safety and sustainability of a facility. FSB's comprehensive, all-discipline design approach allows mechanical systems to be seamlessly integrated into the building architecture while maximizing comfort and minimizing maintenance. We routinely develop creative design solutions for HVAC and plumbing systems. FSB possesses extensive experience in the design of complex steam, chilled water, heating water, natural gas, compressed air, industrial ventilation and plumbing systems in both new and existing buildings.

Ensuring the safety of each building's users, fire protection engineers evaluate and create the life-saving systems that keep a building's occupants safe in case of fire, while helping keep property damage to a minimum. FSB is proud to have one of the nation's top fire protection engineers on our team. Our skilled fire detection and prevention staff has extensive experience designing complex fire alarm and evacuation systems for everything from military facilities to aviation hangars, university buildings to corporate headquarters and hospitals.

If you think of a structure as a human body, structural engineers design and maintain the "skeleton." In many ways they can be seen as guardians of public safety, ensuring that buildings, bridges and other structures are strong enough to withstand all kinds of stresses and strains. For our Oklahoma clients, for example, we create sturdy buildings capable of withstanding exceptionally high winds, tornadoes and earthquakes. As a critical element of the broader civil engineering umbrella, FSB's structural engineers work on a variety of systems utilized in building design, including new construction, building expansions/renovations and retrofit projects.

In order to provide our clients with the highest quality designs, electrical engineers carefully coordinate with the mechanical, architectural, and interiors disciplines. This coordination is critical to the design of a facility's power, lighting, data, communications security and special systems. In addition to cross-discipline communication, our engineers are committed to communication with our clients in order to ensure our design meets all their needs. New construction, remodel and retrofit projects are just a few of the areas in which FSB's electrical engineers have decades of experience.

Buildings not only need to be efficient and functional, but in today's world, they need to be safe. That's why FSB considers security and building access to be among the most critical design features. Incorporating these intricate elements require a high level of technological expertise, and this is where our team excels. Our team designs security systems in projects of all sizes, ranging from basic video camera surveillance to state-of-the-art wireless access point protection to military-grade anti-terrorism measures and beyond.

At FSB, we consistently deliver extraordinary services translated across multiple disciplines and markets. When you work with FSB you will gain access to our exceptional creative team of architects, engineers, interior designers, project managers and construction administrators who can turn your project from a mere concept into an attractive, high-functioning environment that enhances performance and well-being. FSB's professionals work as a team to co-create with our clients, sharing our unmatched combination of experience, manpower and technology to creative innovative solutions which are delivered in a timely manner and within budget parameters.

Civil engineers create, improve and protect the environment in which we live. They do this by planning, designing and overseeing the construction and maintenance of buildings, facilities, roads, bridges, dams, airports, water and sewer systems, power plants and more. Representing our clients, FSB's civil engineers also work closely with utility companies, city, county, state and federal representatives to ensure compliance with applicable regulations, identify issues at the earliest stages possible and produce the required documentation.

At FSB we cultivate an environment that empowers our employees to reach out and give back through service to others. Whether it's through "boots on the ground" volunteering of time and resources, design services or financial contributions, each day we devote our time, talents and monetary support to causes large and small. By listening and responding to the needs of our local community, we are rewarded with the knowledge that each of us can and do make a positive difference every day. We take pride in knowing we are more than good architects and engineers - we are helpful and caring neighbors.
