Scheid Architectural is a local design firm specializing in industrial, mid-sized commercial and public buildings for the Western New York Region. Since our beginnings in 1989, we have designed for over $40 million in capital construction. Over 80% of this work has been for a small group of repeat clients who include Pratt & Lambert, Cooper Industries, Fleet Bank, General Motors Corp., American Axle, Citibank and Pierce & Stevens Corp. We take great pride in our record of establishing and holding quality business partner relationships with our clients.

Our staff is well educated and experienced in building and renovation projects ranging from 2000 s.f. to 30,000 s.f. We have in-house capabilities to complete over 80% of all required Design Services for this size building and work hard to produce long lasting, aesthetically pleasing structures. We understand that the project belongs to the Owner. We add the Construction and Design expertise to the Project Owner's needs and wants to create a successful project.

    We maintain the latest CADD Systems as well as computerized specifications, estimating, graphic design and building code systems. This allow us to focus our time in the questions and problems of the Design/Construction rather than on the logistics.

His desire to offer clients expertise in the entire planning process has afforded him a crucial and non-traditional role in project management.
