My experience and capabilities include schools, hospitals, universities, high rise office buildings, civic buildings, and high-tech/industrial facilities. My chosen focus and passion in the built environment, however, is deep energy and water efficiency retrofits, high performance green buildings, and renewable energy projects. This has led to work on highly collaborative teams including Integrated Project Delivery and integrated CM/GC teams. I understand that the best project experiences comes from trust-based relationships that leverage the best of what all parties bring to the project. Through leveraging technology we are able to minimize waste, maximize program, and find the best lifecycle value for my clients.Select Projects:Edith Green Wendell Wyatt Federal BuildingFt.
