A quality design is a result from a total effort and commitment on the part of the designer determined to consider each specific constraint of the client: money, time, energy, function, appearance, or location. This means a total baptism into the project with complete attention to the overall project needs as well as minor detail with excellence in the evolvement of a solution. The objective of CMS is quality. Our goal is to provide quality at its highest form: excellence. A successful outcome of the project is predicated upon engineering education and experience obtained over the past 50 years. Renovations of existing structures, restoration for code compliance and providing safe, pragmatic, and cost-effective solutions have been the fundamental talents offered to all Carter Miller Sansing clients. Our team will offer structural, civil, environmental, mechanical, plumbing, electrical engineering and landscape architecture services to accomplish the technical demand of the project. ​ CMS has engineering expertise in steel, wood, concrete, prestressed/precast concrete, architectural precast concrete, masonry, light gauge steel framing, and aluminum construction. Our team is adept in providing solutions for construction issues while working within a given project’s design size and budget. CMS utilizes the most current computer aided technology in every phase of our business. We use the latest in structural design calculation software to supplement the abilities of our experienced engineering staff. We use a number of programs including: Bentley-Staad.Pro™, WoodWorks™, RetainPro™, Hilti PROFIS™, REVIT™, AutoCAD™, as well as many applicable programs written in house in Visual Basic™ and Visual C™. In-house programs include Connection, Concrete Design, Masonry Design, and Aluminum Design. Accounting and billing software is also used to ensure accurate and efficient records.
