Start a projectThe Practice
Coe + Coe Architecture is a two-principal Vermont firm that designs residential, commercial, and municipal buildings, and through Coe + Coe Construction, builds them.
We provide complete architectural services: as-built documentation, site assessments, feasibility, master planning, design, construction documents, permitting, and construction administration. Coordinating a wide circle of engineers and consultants, Coe + Coe frequently serves as prime A/E.
We're adept at the problems clients actually bring us: non-conforming lots, code-complicated buildings, deferred maintenance, and program that has outgrown its walls. Our strength is listening and working with the owner to reach their vision.
Practice Areas
- Feasibility StudiesDoes the program fit the site, what will it cost, and can it be permitted.
- Grant SupportDrawings, narratives, and estimates that funding applications require.
- Architectural DesignSchematic design through construction documents and bidding, as prime A/E.
- Permitting & CodeZoning and DRB, fire safety, environmental, historic, accessibility, energy code.
- Construction AdminSite visits, submittals, and RFIs, so the building matches the drawings.
- Design-BuildTurn-key delivery through Coe + Coe Construction with local trades.
- Owner's RepresentationBid review, contractor oversight, and schedule and budget tracking.
Feasibility, design, permitting, construction documents and bidding, then construction administration — with in-house construction through Coe + Coe Construction.
All ServicesNorthern and central Vermont, from a studio in the Northeast Kingdom.
Coe + Coe works from West Glover, and the majority of our projects sit within a short drive: the Northeast Kingdom, the Lamoille and Winooski valleys, and the towns along the Connecticut River. Recent commissions have taken us further afield, and we now work regularly in the Champlain Valley, the Upper Valley, and central Vermont.
