We’ve been putting our hearts into our work for more than three decades providing our clients with premier planning, design and construction administration services for mechanical, electrical, technology, plumbing and fire protection systems.
Our headquarters is in the heart of Kansas City, Missouri, in the revitalized Crossroads district with a satellite office in St. Joseph, MO.
We believe the systems we design are the beating heart of every facility in which we work. Without mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, a building is just a shell of bricks and mortar. But give it a heart, and that building comes alive… as a place to learn, a place to work, a place to play, or a place to call home.
At Lankford | Fendler + associates, we do more than just show up and get the job done. We actually listen to what our clients have to say. Then we use our experience and expertise to come up with innovative approaches to give them what they want… and then some. We’re not afraid to present a different way of doing things if it means better solutions for our clients. Our clients appreciate this open minded approach thus avoiding sometimes stale, repetitive designs.
Our project managers put their hearts and souls into building relationships and maintaining them by being present, physically and mentally, in every meeting and reviewing project plans room by room, and wall by wall to ensure that no stone is left unturned.
We know this business and we understand the importance of following through every step of the process, from detailed drawings to field inspections. Our multi-disciplinary expertise embraces a principle: quality architectural design is dependent upon the excellent engineering of building systems. Supporting the appearance and function of a building are the hidden, but critical systems which are quite literally what make a building work.
As the founding principal of Lankford Fendler + associates, Alan leads our growing team of engineers with his solid technical background and over 30 years of multi-disciplinary experience. Alan has undertaken projects in nearly every sector and brings a wealth of knowledge, expertise and inspiration to our clients and the whole Lankford Fendler team. His passion for sustainable design, energy efficient buildings and new technologies has earned him the reputation as a trailblazer in the field. In his free time, you will often find Alan watching basketball, spending time with his three daughters or volunteering with one of the many local charities he supports.
