There is nothing more satisfying than being part of a process that takes an idea and turns it into a reality. With over 15 years of experience in this profession, I have worked on recreation, science and engineering buildings. All of which have very distinct characteristics.By studying architecture and construction I have been able to hone my skills in both professions. Exposure to structural steel detailing, plan review, building inspection, project management and sustainable design has provided the necessary tools to navigate the complexities of most projects from conception through construction. It is key to:* Understand owner's requirements* Understand and meet the requirements of the contract documents* Understad that the means and methods of construction are numerous (don't be afraid to think outside the box)*Understand the schedule and how to deliver the product within time allotted for the projectUnderstanding effective collaboration among the team equates to success at every phase of the project. Henry Ford said it best. Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.
