SHALOM BARANES ASSOCIATES, P.C.

Shalom Baranes Associates, P.C. specializes in architectural services for federal facilities, delivering comprehensive building evaluation and assessment solutions tailored to government infrastructure needs. Their technical expertise includes structural condition assessments, code compliance analysis, life-cycle performance reviews, and facility condition reporting for mission-critical federal buildings. The firm applies rigorous architectural evaluation methodologies to support asset management decisions, with a focus on documenting building integrity, identifying deferred maintenance, and recommending prioritized rehabilitation strategies. Their work emphasizes precision documentation and regulatory alignment with federal building standards, ensuring that evaluations inform long-term capital planning and sustainability initiatives. The contractor has established a consistent presence with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the General Services Administration, providing architectural assessments that support facility stewardship and infrastructure modernization efforts. For USDA, they have conducted detailed evaluations of key administrative buildings, including the Whitten and South Buildings, to inform maintenance and renovation planning. With GSA, their engagement has centered on administrative modifications to contract oversight, reflecting a trusted advisory role in federal facility management processes. Their primary focus is on NAICS 541310—architectural services—where they operate as a specialized provider of building condition assessments rather than design or construction. This positions them as a niche player in the federal facility lifecycle market, serving agencies that require independent, technically rigorous evaluations to support capital investment decisions. Their work bridges the gap between physical asset data and strategic planning, making them a valuable resource for agencies managing aging infrastructure. As a small professional services firm structured as a 2L entity based in Washington, D.C., Shalom Baranes Associates operates with agility and deep regional familiarity with federal facility operations. While they hold no formal government certifications, their demonstrated track record in delivering precise architectural evaluations underscores their credibility within the federal infrastructure sector.
