During 2024 CALA is emphasizing our commitment to promoting a unified “One Company” culture. You might wonder—if this is so important, why have four offices within two hours of each other? The answer lies in our intentional approach, shaped by the diverse geography, communities, and clients we serve across Northern California and Nevada. The stunning landscapes inspire our designs, and having multiple locations allows us to deliver personalized services tailored to local needs.
Each of our offices is strategically located to provide exceptional service and build strong relationships within their respective regions. Being locally present enhances our understanding of client needs and strengthens our commitment to a cohesive and collaborative culture across the entire organization. Need us at a meeting? We’re there! We believe in the value of in-person meetings, knowing that on-site collaboration is irreplaceable when addressing construction questions, listening to the community and delivering effective solutions.
Proximity to our clients also allows us to better appreciate the distinct characteristics of each area—whether it’s local climate, regulatory processes, community relationships, or historical context. For example, designing projects in San Jose is quite different from those in Reno. We account for everything from: snow management to Sea Level Rise, to rapid growth/housing demands and even non-permanent urban revitalization.
Why these specific locations? We prioritize office locations that not only serve our clients but also improve the quality of life for our team members. We focus on areas that offer vibrant, family-friendly communities, strong infrastructure, and sustainable transportation options. We also value access to outdoor recreation and a sense of community, ensuring our team can thrive both professionally and personally. After all, we believe in working hard and enjoying life!
