Leadership and Legacy

Garner Fritsche Engineering (GFE) was founded in September of 2006, establishing a team of highly respected engineers and designers who work diligently with you to achieve your project goals. Our firm is registered in both Texas and Oklahoma, and our engineers are registered in many states throughout the country.

WE ARE KNOWN FOR:

  • ACCOUNTABILITY;
  • ACCESSIBILITY AND RESPONSIVENESS;
  • PRINCIPAL INVOLVEMENT ON EVERY PROJECT AND;
  • PRACTICAL, EFFICIENT DESIGN SOLUTIONS FOR CURRENT NEEDS AND FUTURE MAINTENANCE.

All of our project calculations and studies are reviewed from a practical vantage point to prove the results make sense. We have the experience of past projects varying from new construction to complicated renovations in existing facilities. Because it is critical to understand the facility conditions, we visit the sites and become intimately familiar with the existing systems. Utilizing existing drawings and/or interviewing key facility personnel is a top priority in our effort to better understand the current conditions and your needs. In the end, the owner takes over a project that functions as designed. Our Principals remain involved throughout the entire project process and remain in constant contact with the client to make sure all expectations are met, or exceeded.
