4. Background
Crandall Engineering – Engineering that works – Engineering with style. The philosophy of Crandall Engineering is
1) to listen carefully to the voice of the customer, their dreams, their vision, their needs, their goals, and their
budget and 2) to work the ideas and requirements together to create a unique solution that reflects the custom-
ers’ personality and style. It is the belief of those at Crandall Engineering to provide many ideas to the customer
and to work as a team to meet all the projects objectives.
Crandall Engineering, Inc. is a full service architectural and professional engineering company. Crandall Engi-
neering became incorporated in 2002 after growing the company since 1997. Crandall Engineering is a Hub zone
and Women’s Business Enterprise Company based in the heart of Indiana for easy access to all parts of Indiana,
Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky.
A sample of recent building design projects include multiple historic building structural evaluations and remedia-
tion plans, churches, commercial buildings, office buildings, warehouses, a food processing plant, fire stations,
school building, city municipal buildings, community service buildings and residential homes among others. Ser-
vices range from specialty services such as stress analysis and setting up a preventive/predictive maintenance
program to a complete architectural and engineering design by a registered professional engineer.
The principal of the company is Lisa Crandall, PE. Crandall is married with 2 grown children. Crandall studied
art at Virginia Commonwealth University. While taking a design class she realized her interest in architecture,
she then studied architectural engineering at the University of Wyoming. Crandall holds a bachelors and masters
degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Tulsa and is licensed as a professional engineer in four-
teen (15) states, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, Kentucky, Ohio, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Kansas,
Missouri, Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Alabama, and Pennsylvania and is eligible in all others. Design work and
participation has included all aspects of building design, structural remediation of historic buildings, the Alaska
Pipeline Project, the automobile manufacturing industry, the oil service industry, the renewable fuels industry
and crane lifting and rigging equipment design. The firm is best known for facilitating the hopes and dreams of
those needs addressed to us by our clientele.

5. PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Project management will be a team concept. Lisa Crandall, PE, will be Principal-in-Charge and will team with
Christopher Alexander on the Project Design. Caleb Crandall will be our Project Manager including project ad-
ministration and scheduling. Crandall Engineering’s approach and philosophy to project management is to coor-
dinate and manage the process of design and keep the Customer/Owner informed at all times. A unified team
approach involves each member clearly understanding his or her role and the deliverable expectations. Each cli-
ent and project is unique and has different needs. We will work with you to tailor our roles and deliverables to
your specifications. If consultants are involved in this project, Crandall Engineering will manage their roles and
responsibilities. Crandall Engineering will coordinate all information, meeting times, and deliverables to the Cus-
tomer/Owner.
We believe in the team approach to design and problem-solving. We encourage input from the community as
well as the particular groups involved such as the Historical Society and the City. Only by receiving candid state-
ments of the goals for this project from all interested and affected parties can the design team propose solutions
that satisfy the multiple goals. The process of open communications in concentrated work sessions facilitates
effective interaction between the design team and the affected parties. The concepts and design proposals will
be presented in several different formats during the feasibility study process. The goal will always be to convey
ideas most clearly. A variety of media can be used, such as sketches, models, and website information.

PROJECTS
Engineering and Design permeate life. At Crandall Engineering we strive to combine both engineering and
design to the best effect to help our clients to achieve their goals. We have many projects focused on engi-
neering and assessment. Our engineering experience spans the breadth of construction situations from analy-
sis of existing systems and engineering consulting (Dr. Rosenthall’s Offices) to in-house design and engineer-
ing of new structures (Culver’s of Marion). From feasibility studies to renovations and new construction,
Crandall Engineering is equipped to help the client to achieve their design and budgetary goals.
Historical building inspection to determine structural soundness is an essential aspect of a feasibility study.
Crandall Engineering is especially well equipped and experienced in building inspections. Experiences range
from structural evaluation and renovation plans for offices, churches, schools, factories and community cen-
ters (Crandall Offices; New Venture Ministries, King’s Academy, and the Thornburg House), renovations and
additions (Marion Incubator/Titan Building, the Historic McMahan-Leib Co. Building, Baldwin Place, Marion
Steel Fabrication downtown office and the old Active Products building), and structural and energy analysis
(Masonic Lodge).
Experiences with community spaces range from the Gas City 2nd Street Promenade and Senior Community
Centers (Gas City) to aspects of community centers within church facilities (New Hope Baptist, Grant County
Presbyterian, Cornerstone Christian Fellowship as well as some of the historical buildings mentioned previ-
ously) and restaurants (Payne’s Frozen Custard.)
Numerous projects have provided experience with other essential technical expertise including environ-
mental review (Bio-Diesel Facility Design, Drawings and Permitting), Life Safety Plans (Park Villa L.T.C.), site
planning and space assessment issues (I-69 Industrial Park) and large scale structural engineering (Madison
Park Church of God in Anderson.)
The following pages show a sampling of the projects Crandall Engineering has had the pleasure of partici-
pating in. At all times, Crandall Engineering is sensitive to budget and time constraints. New Hope Baptist,
Gas City Methodist and Eastbrook Administration building and Van Buren School addition are a few that
were under specific, tight budgets as well as significant time restraints. Crandall Engineering was able to suc-
cessfully meet both criteria on these and other projects.
