Who you'll work with.
Datum is led by hands-on management. The people who start your project with you are the people who see it through, backed by designers, engineers, and trade partners who build to the same line we do.
Jeff Schuler, AIA
President and Architect
"I'm only as good as the team around me."
Jeff has spent more than a decade designing and building places where people are cared for: assisted living and memory care communities, childcare centers, and multifamily homes, along with hospitality and commercial work. As both a licensed architect and a builder, he knows how a line on a drawing becomes a wall in the field, and what it costs to get there.
He leads Datum the way he runs a project: hands on, close to the work, and accountable from the first sketch to the final walkthrough. What keeps him in this work is who it's for. The best projects he's been part of were built for owners who measure success by the lives of the people inside, and that's the kind of owner Datum is built to serve.
- Master of Architecture, North Dakota State University
- Licensed architect in Minnesota, California, and North Dakota
- Member, American Institute of Architects
What owners and partners say
“Jeff served as our guide throughout the entire process. Construction projects are never easy, but Jeff consistently provided thoughtful design solutions, excellent advice, and careful attention to our budget. I would gladly work with Jeff Schuler again.”
The team around your project
Every Datum project is carried by a team chosen for it: designers, engineers, consultants, and trade partners who share our standards and our care for the people a building serves.
Leadership stays on your project from start to finish. You won't be handed off once the contract is signed, and you won't have to re-explain your goals halfway through.
We grow that team deliberately, at the pace our clients' trust earns. If you'd like to be part of it, get in touch.
