<br /> ® QUALIFICATIONS g
<br /> We began as M.E. Berry & Associates in 1937 and became Berry & Calvin in 1985. Twelve years later, the
<br /> transformation was made to Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc. (CGA). From the beginning, much of our
<br /> ® reputation was built on repeat business with clients from the public and private sectors. Our success is
<br /> ® reflected in the quality of work we consistently provide and also in the personal approach we take with
<br /> each client.The winning combination is affirmed by the fact that CGA grew steadily during an economy that
<br /> ® was not only challenging but also daunting to many larger firms in Florida these past few years. We focus
<br /> ® on adding professionals and technology that address the needs of our South Florida customers instead of
<br /> simply adding new branch office addresses.

<br /> Founded in Hollywood, our main office is now in Fort Lauderdale, within Port Everglades. Today, our firm
<br /> ® employs more than 200 professionals who provide a broad range of landscape architecture, planning, civil

<br /> ® data technology (including Geographic Information Systems), and construction services. In addition to our
<br /> Fort Lauderdale office, we now have offices in West Palm Beach, Homestead, Clearwater, Port St. Lucie,
