The teams are now working collaboratively to ensure a seamless transition for clients, who will now have access to Keller Engineering’s extensive expertise in building science, project management, and more. The acquisition also allows Keller Engineering to introduce a higher level of integration and innovation into reserve fund planning—empowering condominium boards to make informed decisions backed by comprehensive technical insights.
This expansion represents an exciting evolution in Keller Engineering’s ability to deliver value and leadership within the industry, especially as the needs of the condominium sector continue to evolve.
