# BASE4 - Architects, Engineers, Designers

> BASE4 is a Boca Raton-based architecture and engineering firm that treats building design like a manufacturing problem. Its roughly 250 architects, engineers, interior designers and BIM specialists work in a follow-the-sun cycle across offices in the U.S., Dominican Republic, the Republic of Georgia and India, delivering full A/E, DfMA and modular design in-house on Revit. The pitch to developers is blunt and consistent: build faster and cheaper, mostly for hotels, apartments and, increasingly, data centers.
