An architectural code consulting firm that specializes in offering creative solutions to regulatory issues
The Preview Group, Inc. is an architectural consulting firm that specializes in building codes and regulatory issues affecting construction. The genesis of the firm was the desire to assist our clients in creating design solutions that fit within the regulatory framework of their specific projects.

Preview serves clients throughout the United States, from one-person firms to large practices, public entities to private corporations, and those having general design and construction questions to others with specialty concerns such as ADA compliance or repurposing existing structures.
The firm’s consulting team of architects and engineers has extensive experience as designers, code officials, trade organization representatives, and consultants. They are well versed in all areas of code compliance, and actively participate in code-related activities at the local, state and national levels.
