APD has enjoyed a long relationship with ALDI that dates back to the founding of our firm in 1996. This relationship has steadily grown from initially providing site design and permitting on single sites, to today where APD is ALDI’s National Prototype Architect and Prototype Civil Engineer. APD’s emphasis of providing senior-level professionals, at cost-effective rates, has resulted in over 1,000 successful projects with ALDI at locations all across the United States. Starting in 2003, our architectural staff greatly expanded the civil engineering services provided to ALDI by offering full building services including architecture, structural, mechanical and electrical engineering. Pleased with our customer service and reasonable fees, APD was named ALDI’s National Prototype Architect in 2008. APD works with ALDI’s National Real Estate team to design ALDI’s prototype buildings and study a myriad of building and operational elements. APD continues to lower costs and improve program efficiency through the practical utilization of technology. Together, APD and ALDI apply sustainable design to all prototypes that are constructed across the United States. For more than 20 years, APD has enjoyed a strong business partnership with ALDI. ALDI’s offerings and facilities continually evolve and we look forward to assisting ALDI become one of the leading grocers in the United States.

“APD has managed the ALDI prototype program since 2008 including the ALDI Prototype drawings, specifications, and civil design guidelines. They’ve been able to communicate prototype drawings, specifications, and design requirement updates to regional architects across the country, maintaining consistency throughout the ALDI building program. Throughout this time, they’ve lead and assisted with countless research and prototype development initiatives. APD’s skill at project management ensures a high degree of coordination with government entitlements, neighborhood groups, utility companies, and contractors, which is part of the reason why our projects get completed cost effectively and efficiently. APD provides an excellent product within a very competitive budget. It has been my pleasure to work with APD on numerous projects. I would highly recommend APD to any company in the need of architectural or engineering services.”
