Administrative Team
ingeniuty Each office has its own mini culture, where coworkers naturally become family, and their spouses and children become friends as well.
CPL is on the cutting edge of the latest ingenious technology. Talk a walk through our Woodstock office, and you’ll find innovative tools that have transformed the way we communicate design, like our 3D printer and VR headset. Dan Duprey, COO Leadership Team

integrity We’ve got focused, principle-minded engineers mixed in with creative, problem-solving architects, topped off with an array of skilled, hard-working support staff. That balance of disciplines naturally creates a work environment of candor and virtue.

inspiration There is a constant hum of “helpful chatter” heard around the office. Whether it’s someone offering career advice, help with Revit or answers to design issues, it’s instinctive for us to drop what we’re doing to help someone else.
A lot of our offices are equipped with inspiring “word walls,” each that have intentional words to encourage, uplift and motivate team members.
