Wdg

WDG | Architects Engineers is a full-service architecture and engineering firm headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana. We provide our clients with cohesive architecture, engineering, planning and interior design for clients in a variety of markets. Founded in New Orleans in 1989 as a commercial architecture and engineering department within a larger organization, WDG continues to provide design services to clients in the Greater New Orleans area, the Gulf Coast region, and around the country. WDG is certified by the City of New Orleans as a State and Local Disadvantaged Business Enterprise and through the State of Louisiana Hudson Initiative as a Small Entrepreneurship (SE, or Hudson Vendor).

Depending on the situation and the client's needs, the design-build approach often makes the most sense in order to streamline the process. As a collaborative, multidisciplinary firm, our architects and engineers work regularly with contractors and owners to make cost, constructibility and lead time decisions in real-time during design that will result in the best value for the client, often at a fraction of the time.

WDG is unique in that we are a small A/E firm. Our versatile design studio consists of architects, engineers, and designers who work collaboratively and independently in a broad range of markets for clients of all types. Our approach to every project is tailored to the particular needs of the client, but always contains the right combination of ingredients for a successful project delivery. When planning and designing built environments for clients, we pay careful attention to budgets, schedules, code analysis, constructability, and functional needs of the users who will ultimately occupy the buildings and spaces.

The architects at WDG have a broad range of project experience in New Orleans and beyond, and a depth of knowledge in programming, planning, all phases of design, construction documents and contract administration. They work in close proximity to the engineering staff, encouraging design integration at the onset of a project. WDG offers a cohesive design package, including carefully-selected materials appropriate for the space, user needs, and durability.
