10Fold was founded in Ames, Iowa, with a clear mission: to deliver high-quality architectural and structural engineering solutions rooted in integrity, care, and a strong Midwestern work ethic.
Over the course of our 38-year history, we’ve grown into a multi-disciplinary team serving a wide range of industries. With over 1,000 projects completed across 130 communities in Iowa and the Midwest, we remain committed to purpose-driven design.
Led by principals Chad West, Eric Vermeer, Kevin Barber, and Sam Stagg, our culture emphasizes innovative thinking, excellent execution, and a collaborative, people-first approach. True to our name, we strive to expand the possibilities of every space tenfold, exceeding expectations and making a lasting impact for our clients and their communities.
We guide every project with care, clarity, and creativity, balancing your goals with our expertise to deliver lasting value.
We want to understand your “why”—what motivates you, your goals, values, and challenges. This foundation helps us connect with your vision.
We internalize your pain points and experiences, ensuring we design with true empathy and purpose.
Building on that understanding, we collaborate to explore ideas and develop thoughtful solutions tailored to your needs. Best idea wins!
Each solution is tested through research, feedback, and iteration, ensuring it’s aligned, feasible, and ready to move forward.
From design through construction, we champion your goals and maintain a strong partnership to support your project’s success.
At 10Fold, our strength lies in the diverse mix of experience, creativity, and collaboration our team brings to every project. We’re not just designers and engineers, we’re long-term partners who listen closely, think critically, and always put people first.
