What is PlanForce?
Established in 1984 as Weld Ransom Design (WRD), PlanForce Group has evolved into a full-service creative firm dedicated to optimizing real estate assets through expert design and consultation. Initially serving as a space planning resource for international developers, the company expanded its offerings to include commercial real estate consultation, master planning, tenant improvement, and facilities management. The rebranding to PlanForce Group in 2014 and the subsequent acquisition of WCL Associates in 2015 consolidated a comprehensive suite of architectural, design, and marketing expertise. A pivotal shift occurred in January 2020 when PlanForce began its transition to employee ownership with the support of Teamshares, a venture-capital-backed firm. This move aligns with PlanForce's core belief that design can profoundly influence workspace functionality and business success, aiming to secure the company's future and enhance client service.
