Since 2007, Alares has been providing design services to healthcare and federal clients. Our team of architects and engineers shares a genuine and collective drive to find the best solutions to the projects our clients need to get done.

Our approach to challenges is often a direct reflection of our company's founder, Don Maggioli — a graduate of West Point and a former officer of the elite Green Berets. The firm was built on the leadership training and high standards he gained from those earlier experiences.

Always achieve our clients' objectives in a swift manner, without sacrificing quality for speed.

Today, that commitment to excellence and a "can-do" attitude guide how we tackle every challenge.
