Growth & Expansion Dekker has expanded beyond its Albuquerque roots to include offices in Phoenix and El Paso, with a recent El Paso expansion and ongoing project work like the Quay County hospital design. This indicates a willingness to scale and enter new regional markets, presenting sales opportunities with state and local government facilities, healthcare institutions, and multifamily/educational clients in the Southwest.

Public Sector Focus The firm lists public safety, federal facilities, health care, medical education, K-12, and government projects as design specialties. Targeting public sector procurement channels, RFPs, and tribal or municipal contracts could yield recurring opportunities, especially given their experience with hospital redesigns and government-adjacent education facilities.

Leadership Momentum Recent CEO appointment and promotion of Emily Allen signal leadership-driven strategy and potential shifts in firm direction. This presents an opening for engagement with executive leadership around strategic partnerships, major project pursuits, and long-term collaborations in healthcare, education, and public-facing civic projects.

Integrated Services Dekker houses architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, planning, and structural engineering in-house. This full-service approach can be marketed to clients seeking turnkey project delivery, reducing coordination risk on large-scale facilities such as hospitals, schools, and multifamily campuses.

Community & Partnerships Existing collaborations with Roadrunner Food Bank and regional development efforts demonstrate a track record of community-focused initiatives. There is an opportunity to leverage these relationships for social impact projects, grant-funded programs, and public-private collaborations that require sustainable, people-centered design.
