The multi-discipline firm of Childers-Childers Architects & Associates PC was formed in 1979 by Glen F. Childers and operated as Glen Childers, Architect until 1983 when Donald R. Childers, Glen's brother, joined the firm. At that time, the firm name was changed to CHILDERS-CHILDERS, ARCHITECTS & ASSOCIATES to reflect the addition of the new partner.

The firm maintains a staff of multi-talented personnel dedicated in their effort toward diversity and flexibility in its projects. The firm is selective in the type of projects brought into this office and specializes in HUD Grant work, schools, churches, U.S. government facilities and commercial facilities. We are committed to devote all the attention that a project deserves and requires to assure that design, bidding and construction can be accomplished within the agreed time frame and budget constraints while maintaining the quality that our firm demands for its clients.

The firm uses the latest software for computer-aided drafting 3-D modeling and renderings. Samples of renderings have been included herein.

Childers-Childers, Architects & Associates, P.C. is small enough to provide a personal touch, yet large enough to offer depth of experience and the physical resources as necessary to complete your project, whatever the size within your stipulated budget.

CAPABILITY TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

CHILDERS-CHILDERS, ARCHITECTS & ASSOCIATES, P.C. is a relatively small firm (under 10 people) with the philosophy that each project and each client deserves to receive special personal attention. Each licensed Architect in our firm has an extensive background in commercial, institutional and public housing with specified emphasis on Federal Housing Projects, seculars, restaurants, industrial and apartments and the related construction of these projects. The combined years of Architectural practice by the licensed Architects exceeds 70 years. Support personnel in the form of draftsmen, computer operators and data entrants is sufficient in numbers as required by their job description to produce the current office workload. Since 1970, Glen Childers has been recognized statewide for his work relating to Architectural Barriers removal to assist the Handicap and has been invited as guest lecturer at several University Architectural Schools in Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Louisiana. The firm has an extensive ongoing effort in Handicap Barrier removal with state-of-the-art equipment and computer software to assist in ADA, UFAS and/or ANSI barrier identification, the removal of Architectural Barriers and compliance with Handicap Accessible requirements for rehab work. Response time of your design firm is extremely important, especially with respect to rehabilitation/renovation work that will demand prompt, job-site decision making.

HANDICAP ACCESSIBILITY

Our office is very familiar with the processes necessary to implement the required physical changes to new or renovated structures for each area needing Handicap Accessibility provisions including the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS) handbook, the Americans with Disabilities Act (A.D.A.) and the guidelines which are utilized by this office, particularly when converting existing structures into compliant facilities. This office has conducted a Barrier Removal Study for the East Central University and has designed handicap bathrooms, kitchens and entrance conversions for Federally funded Housing Projects as required by these standards. This office has developed a design for kitchen cabinet conversions and closet shelving for Handicap housing units in the form of an "adaptable system" that will function in conformance with UFAS Handicap requirements. This design has the option for “adaptable conversion” by easily adjusted components that will allow closet shelves and kitchen cabinets to be adjusted from fully handicap conforming to conventional height and standard-functioning cabinets therefore making the dwelling easily rentable to non-handicap tenants.

KNOWLEDGE OF LOCAL BUILDING CODES

Our firm is very familiar with the two predominate building codes which are currently in effect in communities around the state, ie. SBCCI (Standard [or Southern] Building Code) and BOCA (Building Officials and Code Administration) and NFPA 101 Life Safety Code. We are also becoming familiar with the new International Building, Mechanical, Plumbing and Electrical Codes which have already been adopted by State agencies and will soon be adopted as the reference code in each community having a Code Enforcement department. We have performed work in the past in virtually all areas of the State and are certain that our work would have no problem in meeting the current City Code throughout the state. We also have enjoyed a good relationship in working with local code enforcement officers. After working with government agencies for over twenty-five years, our office feels very comfortable and familiar with the required building standards and requirements that will be required for this work.
