Choosing The Right 3D Scanning Tool: LiDAR, Thermography, or UAV
NKB leverages advanced scanning and sensing tools to enhance accuracy, mitigate risk, and inform critical decisions at the earliest stages of design. Because our projects often involve complex conditions and tight construction budgets, we rely on technologies that reveal concealed elements, capture existing conditions with high fidelity, and support the selection of the most efficient and cost‑effective design strategies.
Our Commitment To Serving Our Community
NKB is proud to give back to the communities we serve each year, and this year was no exception. Explore NKB’s community giveback initiatives and see how our team is making a positive impact beyond the projects we deliver.
Behind the Scenes: How Integrated Design Solves Complex Challenges
Complex building projects rarely fit into neat categories – they demand thoughtful coordination across disciplines to balance competing priorities. Integrated design brings teams together from the start, transforming complexity into cohesive, high-performing spaces that truly serve the people who use them.
Community Impact: How Design Firms Can Give Back & Why It Matters
Design has the power to do more than shape buildings – it can shape communities. When firms intentionally engage with the people and places they serve, their work becomes rooted in purpose, connection, and long-term impact. Community-centered design strengthens not only the built environment, but also the well-being, resilience, and identity of those who call it home.
Preserving Historic Truss Systems: Where Engineering Meets Stewardship
Historic timber trusses are more than structural systems; they are enduring pieces of craftsmanship that carry a building’s history forward. Preserving them requires thoughtful engineering that balances modern performance demands with deep respect for the original design. It takes careful investigation, creative problem-solving, and close collaboration to strengthen these systems while maintaining their character. When done well, truss preservation extends a building’s life and allows communities to reconnect with places that matter.
