About Feature Walters

PSM, BIM, IPD

By combining advanced design technology, tight project management and digital fabrication, with 24 years of construction experience and old-school craftsmanship, Feature Walters is succeeding at transforming the construction process. Using Parametric Solid Modeling, Building Information Modeling and Integrated Project Delivery, we create some of the most complex and unique elements in the built environment.

Our advanced working methods benefit from the technology wave currently sweeping over the A&D community. By making advanced design technology accessible to architects, designers and owners, Feature Walters puts our customers in the forefront of innovation.

GLOBAL REACH

Recent projects include the detailing, fabrication and installation of architectural features in locations from Barbados to Dubai and from Macau to New York.

TOTAL CONTROL 

In an era of diminishing skill, total control of project specifications and the construction process has never been more essential.

The clarity, precision and analytical capabilities of the parasolid aerospace and automotive design process developed a decade ago, is now readily available to the architecture and design professions.

Photo-real visualizations, structural modeling, accurate component dimensioning and correct construction specifications are possible. Feature Walters proves it every day with a design-development process that is both precise and sensitive enough to be faithful to your vision.
