M. G. Russo & Associates, P.A. is a professional association founded in early 1982 by Malcolm G. Russo and has been continuously engaged in the private practice of professional engineering since that time. By 1984 the firm had grown to a staff of 6 and had moved from its original offices on Kunze Avenue to new facilities in the Don Mott Building located on Court Street in the Downtown Orlando business district.
In 1986, as the firm continued to expand, we acquired our own building on Colonial Drive and continued to establish a prominent role in local business. Today our staff consists of 3 mechanical, 2 electrical, 1 plumbing/fire protection engineer together with support staff. The slower economy of the past two years has resulted in a reduced staff from peak years, however improvement in the current market is again allowing us to add to our staff of professionals.
We have an outstanding record of continuing growth, of expansion of services offered, and of providing top quality services to our clients. The growth and reputation of the firm are the direct outcome of individual efforts and close cooperation by all of our associates. Our future success depends upon the continuation of these efforts and adherence to the highest professional standards and ideals.
