"Together, we will make a difference.”

Mary Crawford - President

Our core values serve as the foundation on which Crawford was built. With respect and dedication for upholding the ideals Mary Crawford founded our firm on in 1993, we embrace as core values:

Quality

Quality is not an act; it is a habit. At Crawford, quality is everyone’s responsibility and our goal is to deliver first time quality in everything we do.

Responsiveness

Responsiveness is an attitude. We are a part of a team that is willing to help each other and our clients. The more we engage with our team, the better we can respond to our industry’s changing needs.

Teamwork

We are not a team because we work together. We are a team because we respect, trust, and care about each other through an individual commitment to a group effort.

Accountability

Accountability starts with you and applies to one and all. We trust our people to do the right thing, even when no one is looking.

Safety

Safety is everybody’s business. Every day! Crawford is committed to maintaining a safe and healthy environment in all our offices and on each of our projects.

Passion

Many of our projects support the men and women who volunteer to serve our country and protect our freedoms. No matter what you are doing, do it with passion or not at all.
