Weld Ransom Design (WRD), established in 1984, began as the space planning resource for international developers Kajama and MEPC. Working with the leasing department, WRD used design to create efficient and economical spaces and help close the deal. In 1999, WRD and WCL Associates (WCLA) began working together to expand services, including commerci... al real estate consultation, master planning, tenant improvement, and facilities management, while continuing to provide the tangible results clients had grown to expect from the company's interior design and architectural services. In 2014, WRD rebranded as PlanForce Group to better reflect the company's ongoing growth and commitment to the Power of Design . In 2015, PlanForce acquired WCLA, bringing the experience of talented architects, designers, and marketers under one roof as a full-service creative firm driven to help clients in a variety of industries get more out of their real estate assets. At PlanForce, the company is guided by the belief that design can powerfully influence the function of a workspace and the success of a business. In January 2020, PlanForce began working with Teamshares, a venture-capital-backed firm that helps small and medium-sized businesses transition to employee-ownership. With this shift to employee ownership, we're living the company's values by working to ensure that the company's staff can thrive - and helping to secure the future of PlanForce for the next 40 years. We're excited about the move to employee ownership and believe it will help the company serve the company's clients even better than before. Let's get to work.Read More
