Contact us about your project

History is an ongoing story. We’re passionate about continuing it.

Some projects strive for a strict interpretation. Others strike a balance with modern amenities. Whatever yours requires, we’ll guide you through the process — from tax credits and grants to historic preservation standards. Our passion is restoring, preserving and rehabilitating buildings using the gentlest means possible. In the end, every project is a unique celebration that respects the past, serves the needs of current users, and creates a statement for future generations.

RDG projects featured in USA Today's "25 must-see buildings in Iowa"

RDG is excited to share the news that three of our projects were recently profiled by AIA Iowa and USA Today in their list of "25 must-see buildings in Iowa." This kicks off a 50-state tour throughout the year 2017. What a wonderful way to showcase the great buildings and artwork RDG is proud to be a part of!
