In the early 1920's, Harold T. Rinker was an
architect and Edward C. Hess was an engineer. Over the years, Mr.
Rinker took on several partners and became Rinker, Keifer and
Rake. The two firms found that they were working together on so
many projects that in 1974 they merged to become R.K.R. Hess
Associates and moved to Park Avenue in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.
From the start, we have evolved into a total design firm
involving over 40 employees who maintain active memberships in
professional organizations.
In 1989, we moved to our new corporate headquarters in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania (pictured right). Strategically located in northeastern Pennsylvania, our work experience extends over half the continental United States, as well as Canada and the Bahamas. We design things that meet humans needs. Needs to study, work, govern, vacation, live, and to enjoy life. Since our early origins, we have completed projects of virtually every type and size.
Our fundamental objective is to "translate human needs into practical realities". This means that while our people can have their heads in the clouds reaching for achievement, they also have their feet on the ground, rooted to things like do-ability, cost effectiveness and client needs. Our fees are usually more than paid for by savings generated by the construction of realistic designs with sales vitality. As a total design firm representing a partnership between all major professional consulting services, we offer limited specific function service or follow through from concept to completion. We do everything from feasibility, environmental, and design studies through surveying, planning, engineering, and landscape architecture.
We are Surveyors, Planners, Engineers, Landscape Architects and Environmental
Scientists.
