The story

The firm was founded by Paul Fast as Paul Fast Associates Ltd. in 1985. Gerald Epp joined the firm in 1987, and in 1989 the partnership Fast + Epp was formed. In 2010, a branch office was established in Darmstadt, Germany with partner Dr. Jochen Stahl, followed by branch offices in Edmonton, Alberta in 2012, Seattle and New York City in 2016 and Calgary in 2018. In 1997, the partners also established the design-build company StructureCraft Builders Inc. in order to help the company realize a number of its more ambitious timber projects. In 2014, the business affairs of the two companies were separated with Paul Fast assuming full ownership of Fast + Epp and Gerald Epp taking over full control of StructureCraft Builders Inc.
