About Robert G Polk, Architect, P.A.


Established in 1990, I began my current practice, where a focus was  on retail and industrial projects, mainly serving the grocery store market, along with offices, retail, medical and restaurants. Grocery store work included design from conception, remodels, existing facility analysis, coordination of differing equipment brands and consultants, cost estimation and onsite problem solving.  I worked coordinating teams to measure existing and acquired facilities, layout new fixture plans and develop construction documentation.  During this time, my experience allowed me to adapt to changing situations, readily be able to recommend solutions, and still be able to deliver the project and meet the design needs.
