About Us
About ENGenious LLC
ENGenious LLC is committed to working with our clients to ensure that we understand their unique project needs and that our team recognizes the design requirements for all aspects of the project. We know that identifying the client’s goals, as well as knowing the regulatory constraints and constructability of a project are the most important steps in performing a successful project.
We believe that continuous and open communication are critical to ensuring that everyone is current on the ultimate goals of every aspect of the project, even if those goals are to adjust during the course of the project. We realize that the best solution is not necessarily the easiest or quickest solution, but is the one that exceeds what is expected and will reduce overall project cost or schedule.
We continually educate ourselves on readily available materials, desired construction methods, new technology, and design methods and practices to provide a cost-benefit approach to our designs. By continuing to evolve our knowledge base we are able to reduce construction cost and schedule creep, while increasing overall building performance. All of our designs utilize value engineering principles to make sure that the optimum solution is found for each project. This additional iteration in our design process provides our clients with more efficient designs that will reduce overall project costs attributed to materials and/or schedule decrease.
We strive to not only provide quality architectural and engineering designs, but to take the extra step and communicate with the trades and personnel in the field so that our drawings and details are easily understood and translated into actual standing structures. There is typically more than one way to build a structure. We believe the builder should be able to determine their own means and methods and that it’s our job to show how those methods will work within the constraints of the building code and engineering practice.
ENGenious LLC maintains a $1 million Professional Design Liability Policy and a $2 million/$4 million Commercial General Liability policy.
Multi-Discipline Experience and Approach
ENGenious LLC's view and approach is rather different than most A/E design firms. We look at the small details and put ourselves in the shoes of the builder and trades to understand their concerns and heartaches, so that our design reduces or eliminates excess costs and schedule delays. By using a multi-discipline approach, from actual in field experience, we are able to maintain aesthetic Architectural intent while value engineering the project to reduce the bottom line.
Our Principal and Founder
ENGenious LLC Principal and Founder, Eric Crowley has extensive experience in both the construction field and design field, within disciplines of Civil Engineering and the built environment. Hes a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in Colorado and Arizona and a nationally accredited Certified Professional Building Designer (CPBD) by the American Institute of Building Designers (AIBD).
Mr. Crowley attended Arizona State University studying Architecture and Civil Engineering where he obtained a Bachelors degree in Civil, Environmental, and Sustainable Engineering.
Mr. Crowley's career includes multiple positions within the construction industry working on projects such as a construction specialist for a 1/16 scale barrel wave surf pool, a field inspector for AZ loop 303 I-17 and I-40, project manager for multiple Arizona Public Service fossil generation facility projects, and owners representative construction manager for Richard A Reynolds Desalination Facility expansion.
Mr. Crowley's design experience includes wastewater and water treatment facilities, environmental land development, civil grading and drainage, fluid piping, post tension and conventional foundations, structural wood framed, structural masonry, structural steel, and Architectural design.
With such a vast range of experience within building design and Civil Engineering disciplines of Water Resources, Environmental, Sustainable, and Structural engineering; Mr Crowley is able to understand and consult on every aspect of any project ENGenious LLC takes on.
