Resources for Commercial and Residential Architects
What is the Architect Advantage Program?
At McKee, we know that the success of your project doesn’t end when the drawings are complete; it extends into the performance, safety, and reliability of every installed product for years to come.
The Architect Advantage Program is our commitment to commercial and residential architects who want more than just specs. We provide expert guidance, technical resources, and manufacturer-certified solutions so you can confidently design, whether your priority is aesthetics, cost efficiency, or long-term performance.
We also know the wrong equipment can undermine an otherwise exceptional project. That’s why our Architect Advantage Support Team works alongside you from concept to completion, ensuring every dock, door, and access solution meets your design intent, complies with regulations, and performs over the long haul.
Send your project drawings and specifications directly to our dedicated Architect Advantage email: Matt.Girard@mckeedoor.com
From there, we’ll review your plans, make expert recommendations, and help you specify the right products the first time so you can avoid costly change orders, unsafe conditions, and premature equipment failure.
Ask our Architect Advantage Team about the following:
Product design questions
Product features and options
Detailing products in design drawings
LEED project requirements
AutoCAD details and specifications in CSI MasterFormat
