History
The
name Grew has been around in the design and construction industry
since the mid-1960's when Milton Grew, Sr. started his own design
business in Waterbury, CT and later in Watertown, CT and New
Brunswick, Canada. His son, Milton Gregory Grew (Greg) worked with
his father, then with other firms in Waterbury, Stratford and
Meriden, CT. Rather quickly Greg was given managerial
responsibilities in both the design and business aspects of these
practices.
GREW DESIGN INCORPORATED was originally started in 1989 as a sole proprietorship in Greg Grew's home office.
Gradually the business evolved into a firm with a clientele and workload that demanded greater organization and professionalism.
We were incorporated in 1998 and leased office space in the Middle Quarter business district of Woodbury, CT.
In November 2005, the firm moved down the street into our own building, one of the typical old houses in the
Woodbury Historic District and listed on the National Register.

Capabilities
GREW
DESIGN INCORPORATED has the capabilities to fully carry out the
services needed for virtually any size project. Due to the small
size of our firm, all of our staff are involved in various tasks
associated with each project. Our office in Woodbury has 1,500
square feet and is fitted up so that any project can be accomplished
efficiently in a closely-working team environment.
For the
production of drawings we use CAD software which has been customized
by our in-house staff in order to increase efficiency, accuracy, and
consistency. Specifications are prepared in-house using editing
software, which is the most advanced product in the industry. Other
documents are prepared using various software products. All of our
staff and consultants communicate and keep project files updated via
email on a daily basis. Our computer network has a regularly
scheduled backup system, both on and off site, to prevent loss of
our clients' project data.
Worthwhile Statistics
Some statistics are worth knowing. An analysis of our practice
over the last three years has revealed the following:
50% of our gross receipts come from repeat clients.

A Letter From Milton Gregory Grew,
AIA/CEO:
If
you are going through the confusing process of selecting an
architect then be confused no longer! I offer initial
consultations without further obligation. You
will be able to ask me any question you want. If your project
is a renovation or addition, I will be happy to look at the
site first hand with you. We will get to talk through the
project and make the process as simple as possible.
Our practice is very flexible. We can do as much or as
little as you want. That's because we are more than just a
design office. We are experienced in construction management,
general contracting, cost estimating, building and fire code
compliance, building inspections, interiors, additions, new
construction, and the list goes on. And we can be your guide
through it all - design, permits and construction.
I
won't kid you. We are very busy. Frankly, if you can find an
architect who is not busy, don't hire him! In this business
climate there is something wrong with an architect who is not
busy. But we keep the workload flowing and we will give your
project the attention and time it deserves.
Please
feel free to contact us. I invite you to give us a try. You
won't be disappointed.
Sincerely,
Until Greg supplies a photo of himself we will show
his glasses. |
