CKD has a wide variety of project types and is committed to sustainability, social equity, diversity, and inclusion. We prefer projects that mitigate environmental harm, add green space to underserved neighborhoods, and meaningfully engage communities. Our leading areas of project expertise are educational facilities from preschool through higher educational campuses; parks and urban open space; multi-family housing; senior housing; healthcare, and public safety facilities, with the occasional private residential project. Our client base is broad in both the public and private sectors. We provide services primarily in the Greater Bay Area with increasing work in the Sacramento and Gold Country regions.

CKD is a hybrid office that allows employees to create a work/life balance that works both for the company and the employee. We use Microsoft Teams to maintain collaboration across locations. We are committed to the professional growth of our staff and promote collaboration, a team environment, and sharing knowledge firm-wide and with our clients. Our staff is self-motivated, ambitious, creative, passionate, nimble, flexible, and team players. Our company headquarters are in downtown Oakland at the 19th St BART Station.
