Services
HGE has provided continuous professional services to our clients for over 65 years. We were established in the basement of PE Roy Erichen's home in 1952. The company quickly grew and the name was changed to HGE to reflect the principals' names: Bruce Harlan, Architect; Richard Gessford, Architect; and Roy Erichsen, Civil Engineer.
Joe is President of HGE and manager of the architectural practice and has held this position since joining the firm in 1995. He has experience with a wide variety of building types from small residential projects to complex multi-million-dollar commercial projects with large consulting teams of design architects, structural, mechanical and electrical engineers.
HGE's architectural team starts each project by listening intently to understand your project's requirements and goals. Your input becomes the driving factor that shapes the vision of the project. We offer a full range of architectural services including, but not limited to the list below. Our experience is broad and diversified in a variety of building types including: custom homes, single-family residential, multi-family residential, commercial, healthcare, educational, municipal, institutional, industrial, and parks and recreation.
Our building design speaks for itself. We would change nothing. The sustainable design of the building is working well for us. We moved from a 11,000 square foot building to one almost 25,000 square feet and our utility costs have gone down! From the principal architect, Joe Slack, to their staff architects, intern architects, on-staff electrical and civil engineers, and their consultants, we felt we were in good hands. They performed their work in a competent, professional manner and it was a pleasure working with this organization.

I hired HGE the first of February to design a simple two bedroom home. I agreed to pay $5,700 and was told it would take approximately 45 days. After signing the contract, the architect Andrew, began a much larger project and put my house on the back burner for over four months. After being reminded that I had a deadline to receive permits before the end of June or pay over $9,000. in SDC's, Andrew was able to get the plans done within days.
The city, their engineers and I really hustled to barely get the permits on time. Unfortunately, after that many months, all the contractors I had been talking with were completely booked and I have still not broke ground. If you're not a big company, you won't be valued. Take your money somewhere else.
