Cannon makes the places we take for granted work
A flooded street, an aging pier, a launch facility: Cannon builds its business around the engineering details that make places usable. After 50 years, the interesting story is still in the work.
The Tiny Steel Plate Behind MiTek’s $1.68 Billion Bet on Building Faster
MiTek began with a palm-sized connector that made wood trusses practical. Seventy years later, it is trying to fix construction’s bigger problem: too many people making expensive decisions too late.
The 65-Person Engineering Firm That Gets the Call When a Cell Tower Starts to Move
Varcon built a national business around an unglamorous truth: towers age, bolts crack, and paperwork can be as dangerous as wind. Its advantage is closing the gap between the engineer who finds the problem and the crew that fixes it.
BASE4 - Architects, Engineers, Designers
A Boca Raton firm decided architecture should behave more like a factory than an atelier - so it wired together designers on four continents into a 24-hour workday and pointed the whole thing at one goal: build faster and cheaper.
Pirros
Pirros is an AI-powered content intelligence platform for architecture and engineering firms that lets designers find, compare, reuse and standardize Revit details and families across every project, team and office. Founded by former structural engineers Ari Baranian and Peter Johann, the Los Angeles company automatically ingests a firm's historical drawing sets and makes them searchable by geometry - no manual tagging - so designers stop digging through cluttered server folders and start reusing vetted work. Often described as 'GitHub for construction,' Pirros integrates directly with Revit and Autodesk ACC/BIM 360 and serves over 300 firms and 15,000+ users.
PASE (Peoples Associates Structural Engineers)
PASE (Peoples Associates Structural Engineers) is a San Jose-based structural and seismic engineering consultancy founded in 1990. Ranked among the largest engineering firms in Silicon Valley, PASE designs the bones of buildings that have to stay standing - hyperscale data centers for Meta and Vantage, multifamily and mixed-use communities, commercial and institutional projects, plus seismic retrofits and non-structural anchorage. With roughly 69 staff and 250+ years of combined experience across offices in California, Maryland and Croatia, the firm pairs heavy engineering rigor with a collaboration-first culture it calls 'The PASE Way.'
