Why Choose Us?

Diversity of Services: We can help you with a broad spectrum of your needs. We can help evaluate a space or building you are considering for your practice; we can help you with planning your site or project, interior design services, and full architectural services for anything from a small remodel to a whole new building. Experience: We were founded in 1967 by John Crane. John continues to be active in everyday practice, bringing his wealth of experience in the complex world of medical architecture to bear on every project. Stability: John Crane, President and Lead Planner of PPE and Lead Planner and Daniel R. Dierks, Lead Architect of Salmon Bay Design Group, have worked together since 1977. We often are asked for information on projects 20 or 30 years old - and can! We're also planning for the future, to be sure that our clients continue to receive the continuity of service that has been our hallmark. Knowledge and Skill: Buildings these days are complicated, especially buildings meant for the delivery of medical care. We can help you navigate through Department of Health regulations, Medicare compliance, handicapped-accessibility compliance, and more. Care: We really care that our projects turn out well and endure for the long term. We make sure our buildings work well, look good, and are assets to their communities.
