About
Peter Sedgwick and Michael O'Connor have worked in this industry for decades, through distribution, manufacturing, and representation. That history is why a hardware question and a washroom question reach the same team and get answered the same afternoon.
Independence
Representation across Division 8 and Division 10 gives the firm reach through washroom accessories, partition systems and cubicles, lockers, wall protection, glass systems and interior walls, hardware, and door controls. That reach is what lets us answer a product question with a product, and it is also what lets us tell a client when the premium line is the wrong answer for the room.
Consulting leads the engagement. Specification support, estimating, submittal review, and service-life support sit underneath it, and the line card is the evidence that the advice comes with range.
Selection reasoned against the room, the user, the maintenance budget, and the service life.
Sections and schedules that hold up through bid and construction with the intent intact.
Classes, product reviews, and sample sessions for teams who want to specify better.
