About Us

OEI is heavy on the “E” in the A/E world, having been founded as an engineering firm in 1987; OEI’s architecture team is integral to our multidisciplinary approach—bringing spatial functionality, aesthetic value, and client-centered design to every project. Our engineering and architectural teams work in close coordination from project inception through delivery, aligning technical performance with design intent. Engineers provide the structural, civil, and systems expertise that anchors each solution, while architects shape environments that are functional, resilient, and visually compelling. This integrated collaboration allows us to meet the project operational requirements, regulatory standards, and the lived experience of its users.

Project Management Process

As regulatory frameworks evolve and overlap across local, state, and federal levels, the need for qualified, responsive design and analysis services is greater than ever. Successful project delivery requires both technical expertise and project management that is clearly understood, consistently communicated, and seamlessly adapted across multidisciplinary teams.

OEI delivers this through a philosophy built on three pillars: people, process, and practice. Weekly work-in-progress meetings, ongoing education, and regular policy reviews ensure our methods stay aligned with today’s complex regulatory environment. With four decades of experience, we remain committed to adaptive solutions that foster client trust, deliver measurable results, and elevate team performance.

Technical and Regulatory Details

With the exponential increase in regulatory requirements, technical challenges often pale compared to the complexities of navigating approval processes with seemingly conflicting objectives. The success of a project can hinge solely on the proficiency and awareness of your design team. Nevertheless, performing highly technical services requires a keen eye for detail, which OEI has fully developed and thoroughly communicated throughout our design firm.

OEI professionals have assisted our clients in addressing the technical aspects of their projects and meeting the requirements of federal, state, and local regulations. Our goal is always to maintain a high level of awareness of your needs for profitability and timeliness.
