approach of combined services enhances all decisions
made in a project. From interior environments to
engineering systems, we encourage the influence of one
discipline on another to generate a design solution that is
greater than the sum of its parts.

client and timely delivery of our product are the

stand behind our work by following through on our
commitment to carefully execute the intentions of our

have for what you do. Our long list of satisfied return
clients shows the importance we place on design, cost
efficiency and advanced technical competency.
Tradition
An appreciation grown from the family tradition that
started our firm, Intertech Design Services, Inc.
cherishes the quality of our personnel and the depth of
commitment they show in working as a team. The
integrity of the projects we produce reflects the loyalty
and care we stress for our firm and for the designs we

Focused Expertise
Acoustical Consultation / Design
Proper sound control, transmission and reception are
critical character-defining components of any work or
living space. Careful consideration must be given to
acoustically sensitive environments in the renovation or
new construction process. When acoustical design is
ignored in work and living spaces, it diminishes and
depreciates the value of the project. In addition to new
construction, Intertech Design performs acoustical
diagnostics of existing facilities.
Acoustical Design Clients Include:
• Ensemble Theatre
• Playhouse in the Park Shelter house

Various Selected
Testimonials
Our company has employed Intertech Design Services, Inc. /
Vamosi Associates for virtually every project we have designed
the past 9 years. We have worked together on roughly 24
projects, ranging in construction cost for $1,000.00 to
$7,000,000.
I am very satisfied with their expertise and in their ability to
modify their systems to meet client’s changing needs during
the construction phase. I have found them to handle
themselves in nothing but a professional manner in dealing
with our company, our clients, and the construction
subcontractors.
Sincerely,
Paul Rabinowitz, AIA
I am writing this letter of recommendation for Intertech Design
Services Inc. / Vamosi Associates to express my complete
satisfaction with the firm in general and the principals in
particular.
During my tenure as Director of Construction and Facilities
Planning at The Good Samaritan Hospital, I was introduced to
the firm during its early formative years. From the very outset,
they demonstrated the highest level of design excellence and
commitment to the goals of this particular client.
I felt complete confidence in their advice and technical abilities.
We undertook numerous complicated retrofit projects that
required the utmost resourcefulness and cost consciousness.
We were never disappointed in the Vamosi’s performance.
Because my projects are small, I have always appreciated their
willingness to give them the same attention, as one would
expect on a large project. In short, Intertech / Vamosi has my
whole-hearted support and I would not hesitate to recommend
them to future clients.
Sincerely,
Dennis S. Malone, AIA
