About Curtainwall Design Consulting, Inc.

CDC is a world leader in design and consulting services for state-of-the-art building envelope systems. Founded in 1973, CDC operates as a 100% Employee-owned and operated organization. Management of the Company has come from within the ranks of the staff, with over 100 design professionals who are completely and solely dedicated to design, engineering, and consulting for the building envelope.

CDC's strength comes from its Employees. With the ever-changing technology of materials and systems and as our marketplace becomes more global, CDC will equip its Employees to meet the challenges. Our goal remains to offer the best design and engineering services available in the curtain wall industry. We believe our Employees' diverse expertise is unmatched in skills and abilities to deliver innovative yet practical solutions to the exacting demands of today's architecture.
