With the addition of KLOK Group, CMTA has more than 700 engineering professionals. And with recent legislation both nationally with the Inflation Reduction Act and locally with the Energize Denver initiative, the firm is uniquely positioned to help architects and building owners reduce their carbon footprint, electrify their buildings, and generate innovative solutions for high-performing buildings.
“From the beginning, we felt that KLOK Group was uniquely aligned to CMTA’s culture and values, and I am excited to have them board for the next chapter of growth. Together our teams will bring CMTA’s brand of highly sustainable, energy-efficient building engineering to the Denver market and make a real difference in the built community,” Jimmy Benson, CMTA President.
