Civic
                       This  category  includes  Municipal  Centers,  City  Halls,  Village  Halls,  Township  buildings,
                       County  Administration  buildings,  Public  Works  structures,  targeted  Libraries  and  other
                       miscellaneous  projects  which  do  not  fall  into  the  below  specialized  markets.  While  the
                       concept of “Municipal Architect” is uncommon with Municipalities, we would still strive to
                       build long term relationships with quality clients and encourage referrals. Building on our
                       impressive resume of Village Hall projects, continued success in the municipal market will
                       entail  winning  and  designing  other  high-profile  projects,  especially  City/Village  Hall
                       buildings.


                       Public Safety
                          Fire
                          This  specialized  category  includes  all  building  types  (Fire  Stations,  Administrative
                          Buildings, Training Centers, etc.) which service the Fire District and Department client.
                          We have a solid reputation in this market, and are striving to become THE Fire Service
                          design firm of choice in Illinois, Missouri and beyond, servicing quality, repeat clients.
                          We  would  desire  to  develop  long  term  relationships  and/or  become  the  “District
                          Architect” for our quality clients.

                          Police
                          With  our  in-house  Police  expertise  our  current  goal  is  to  specifically  target  and  win
                          significant  police  facilities  to  increase  FGM’s  visibility  and  brand  recognition  in  the
                          market.  As this market is a significant specialty, and due to our project experience and
                          resume,  FGM  will  strive  to  expand  our  geographic  reach  for  police  design  in  a
                          structured manner, continuing our southern region’s expertise and targeting regional
                          and national opportunities, as a police design consultant, that match our criteria of
                          approximately $10 MIL cost of construction, strong partner opportunities, and limited
                          local competition.

                          We  anticipate  consolidation  projects,  regional  training  centers,  joint  dispatch,  and
                          specialty  public  safety  projects  like  the  IFSI  Building  and  Training  Facility,  Illinois
                          Firefighter Memorial, and Addison Consolidated Dispatch Facility especially desirable
                          to elevate FGM’s perception among our police and fire clients.


                       Recreation
                       This  category  encompasses  project  types  which  service  Park  District  and  Recreation
                       Department  clients,  such  as  recreation  /  community  centers,  aquatic  facilities,  golf
                       clubhouses,  maintenance  facilities  and  other  miscellaneous  building  types  and  parks.
                       Development of long term relationships with recreation agencies and winning/designing
                       significant projects for quality, repeat clients in this category will define our success in this
                       sub-market.  We  would  desire  to  develop  long  term  relationships  and/or  become  the
                       “District Architect” for our quality clients.


                       Federal
                       FGM has taken a reactionary stance to all Federal solicitations since February 2015. Within
                       the  past  year  our  trusted  design-build  partners  have  actively  been  requesting  our
                       participation on their submittals and, as such, we currently have many opportunities for
                       Federal work pending for the upcoming fiscal year. We may have to change the name of
                       the Municipal Practice to Governmental Practice!
