As a Latino-owned company with more than 45% of women in leadership positions, we are committed to fostering an environment integrating different cultures and backgrounds where talented individuals come together to put forward work that protects our communities.
With sustainability as our core value, our team crafts, shapes, executes, and builds impactful work to create a better tomorrow.
Our experience and resilience have given us the tools to continue bringing on talented individuals regardless of gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.
We are focused on our tasks at hand, and we will ensure to get results for you, our client.
This is why our performance not only delivers quality results to our clients, but also environmentally sustainable projects. We firmly believe that every person deserves to be treated with respect.
Nevertheless, today we see the impacts of environmental injustice. Based on the 2019 Global Status Report for Buildings and Construction put forward by the United Nations Environment Programme, the building and construction sector is responsible “for 36% of final energy use, and 39% of energy and process-related (CO2) emissions in 2018” (2019). This is why we continue to be a leading organization that implements sustainable architecture.
Through our services, from owner’s representation to third-party certifications process, we ensure to provide practices that are both inclusive and sustainable.
Yes, we are proud of our work, but we are much more realistic than that and recognize that we have not done nearly enough.
As an industry leader, we believe we have a responsibility to spearhead positive change, introduce best practice throughout our global networks and help lead our industry towards A new way.

Prior to joining SUMAC, I spent 20 years in a minority owned business which embraced similar values as in SUMAC, aligned to my own ideals. Here at SUMAC we strongly believe that shaping a diverse, multicultural, international workforce with varied backgrounds translates directly into a successful company.
