About Us
Tier One is an ‘on-shore’ design team consisting of some of the best engineering talent available anywhere.

We bring visionary leadership to every project, from start to finish.
We started our business in Atlanta nearly 20 years ago as a place where top engineers undertake interesting and challenging projects. We’ve been at it ever since. As we’ve grown, we’ve sustained our passion for serving customers and helping their businesses become successful. We are tenacious advocates for our customers and their interests. Many of our customers have enjoyed continuous, long-term support.
What’s our secret? Sure, our team members have top educational credentials and deep experience. But what really sets us apart is our culture of innovation and creativity. We’re especially proud of our team rapport. Our workplace dynamic allows us to streamline workflow, overcome obstacles, reduce bureaucracy, and accelerate time-to-market.
Where other organizations throw hordes of unreliable staff at problems, leaving projects riddled with problems and unexpected delays, Tier One applies visionary leadership throughout your project, from start to finish. We get your design right from day one and account for future problems before they occur. We bring our very best to your project every day for results that exceed your highest expectations.
