Petroff Partnership Architects is organized on a departmental model, with Design, Construction Drawings, Contract Administration and Specifications operating as centres of expertise, coordinating with each other throughout the development of a project. We operate on a dedicated team basis for individual projects, competitive work, and for work devoted to specific major retailers. Each project is under the direct responsibility of one Partner, working with an Associate or Project Manager. Partners are in direct contact with all levels of staff, ensuring high standards and effective coordination. The departments are in fact distributed throughout the office, facilitating interaction and ensuring design integrity.

The result of an early introduction to computer technology in architectural practice is that Petroff Partnership Architects is at the leading edge of computer-aided design today. We have developed a sophisticated network of resources and software tools which enables both excellence in design quality and production capacity. Almost twenty-five years ago, Petroff Partnership Architects realized that the practice of architecture was changing and necessitated sophisticated tools to facilitate development. Our response was to develop state-of-the-art design technology to meet our client's expectations. We have perfected the coordinated transfer of files to Clients and Consultants around the world, enabling coordination of our work in China, and the Middle East, with Design Architects in South America, Consulting Engineers in North America, and the production of drawings in the Far East. The practice of Architecture today is global, and Petroff Partnership Architects is well positioned and well-grounded to meet this challenge.

Our production work is produced on AutoCAD, which we have run for twenty-two years, since the earliest versions of the software. Excel and Project are also used, as is WordPerfect in production. All of our staff are familiar and expert in a variety of software tools, necessary in today’s fast paced development world. Our primary design tools include AutoCAD, 3D Studio Max, CorelDRAW and Photoshop, and full colour output is produced in-house, as is much of our promotional material, developed in Quark Express.

We are presently a staff of over one hundred people, with a widely diverse client base in the commercial/retail, institutional, recreational, residential and international fields. This provides excellent opportunities and experience for both graduate architects and summer intern students. We welcome talent in design and all related fields. Our compensation packages are competitive and our staff international.
