Designing for the Next Generation of Developers
our offering
Infill & Missing Middle Architecture
Incomplete design doesn’t save money — it moves the problem downstream, where a contractor solves it at full construction cost.
We front-load decisions: resolving conditions, sequencing phases, specifying details before anyone breaks ground. For infill and missing middle work, that discipline is the difference between a project that performs and one that is a slog.
- Site feasibility, zoning analysis & highest-use strategy
- Development proforma support & phasing sequencing
- Architecture-led delivery from concept through construction
- Passive House & sustainability integration
Productization & Innovation Consulting
Technical consulting across the prefab and modular construction spectrum — from physical product design through supply chain, digital systems, and software. We help manufacturers, developers, and builders work smarter at every layer of the stack.
- Modular & DfMA — prefab panel system product design, offsite construction integration, manufacturer coordination
- Architectural standards & brand playbooks for scalable, repeatable development
- Building Information Modeling & digital twins for lifecycle management and asset optimization
- Software development consulting for production workflows & design systems
why partner with us
We bring the technical depth that makes difficult projects possible.
Many project risks stem from a lack of definition — phasing constraints, code ambiguity, constructability gaps. We find them early, before they become change orders.
Architecture that earns its keep
Good design shouldn't cost more — it should perform better. We make architectural thinking the engine of feasibility, not a layer on top of it.
Complexity is our medium
Prefab coordination, incremental phasing, DfMA constraints — we work best where the problem space is genuinely hard.
Slow down to go faster
Thorough upfront work — feasibility, standards, sequencing — means fewer change orders, cleaner handoffs, and projects that actually finish.
contact
Alder operates at the intersection of architecture, technology, and construction.
We work with developers, manufacturers, and builders on projects where design quality and construction intelligence need to work together. Our work spans architecture-led infill development and technical consulting across the prefab, modular, and high-performance building sectors — including the software systems that support them.
Let's work together.
Whether you're a developer exploring new sites, a manufacturer rethinking your panel system, or a builder looking to improve production workflows — we'd love to hear from you.
