Our Firm
Projects succeed when people feel informed, supported, and respected throughout the process.

A Design-Build Firm Built on Accountability
ATP Development & Construction is a full-service design-build firm based in Pasadena, CA. Founded by principals with over 30 years of combined experience in architecture, engineering, and construction, we exist to make the building process simpler and more predictable for the people who hire us.
We manage architecture, structural engineering, permitting, and construction in-house. That means fewer hand-offs, fewer miscommunications, and a clearer path from plan approval to project completion.
Built Different. On Purpose.
Most firms either design or build. ATP does both, and we keep them separate. Each client engages us for the services they need. No bundling. No pressure. Just honest scope.
Our team coordinates every phase internally. When your architect, engineer, and contractor are working from the same playbook, your project moves forward without the gaps that cost time and money.
