Cauthen & Associates was founded on the principle of maintaining direct participation in each project by a principal of the firm to ensure the highest quality of service to our clients. The result of this foundation has proved quite successful. We are an information-based, task-oriented firm, driven by professional associates with a clearly-focused mission to provide a cost-effective design focusing on our clients’ vision and development needs.

In the 20+ years that Cauthen & Associates has been operating, we have participated in the design and/or planning of over 7,500 projects in Tennessee. Over 90 percent of our annual revenue is attributed to repeat business giving us a strong indication of our clients’ satisfaction that reinforces our belief in the founding principle of direct participation.
