Dever Architects was established in 1985 with the following core principles which continue to guide us today:

• Team Work
  To work together as a team, within our firm, with our consultants and with our clients, utilizing our experience, talents and abilities to make our clients successful. We believe that architecture can provide a competitive advantage, an advantage that can help our clients to achieve success in their business or, in the case of private residences, to achieve their design goals and enhance their lives and neighborhoods.
• Design Excellence
  To bring a high level of design, appropriate to the site’s context and budget, to every project. We also strive to incorporate sustainable design principles wherever appropriate.
• Personalized Service
  To provide each client with personalized service tailored to his or her specific needs. We listen carefully to our clients and respond promptly to their requests or questions.
• Professional Development
  To attract and retain the best architects, interns and staff members by accepting interesting, challenging commissions, and by providing support, a pleasant work environment, a “family friendly” workplace, good compensation and benefits and training on state-of-the-art hardware and software.
• Community Service
  To contribute to the communities where we live and work and where our architecture is built. We do this by contributing money, services or work to groups or efforts that strengthen the community.
