Who we are
John J. Burger, P.C. is a small architectural practice founded in January 1991 based in downtown Fredericksburg, Virginia. Over a 30-year period this office has produced a large volume of work with projects ranging from a few hundred square feet to upwards of 100,000 square feet. A majority of our work includes project types such as office buildings, civic buildings, retail centers, warehouses, tenant improvements of varying scopes and complexities, churches and recreation facilities.
This office has a strong reputation in the design and construction industry and over 95% of our work has been with repeat clients. We have had relationships with these clients ranging from a few years up to over 25 years. This office has a distinct skill in managing project teams (including consultants and contractors), bringing projects within and under budget and balancing the functionality and aesthetics of design.
