Time disappears while writing specifications. The task of creating a project manual and puzzling together the many pieces that make up a building make the days pass quickly and with joy. Code analysis can be just as fun; a "Choose Your Own Adventure" through construction types and egress, material selection and energy efficiency.Every day I am lucky enough to work in both of these specialties. And while that is a great reward in and of itself, I most enjoy working for clients and with my colleagues. In a typical day I may specify a code compliant insulation for the exterior of a building or ensure that a toilet room meets the accessibility codes. I may also get to help a coworker understand a key concept in the building code. Being a resource and helping my coworkers bring these projects to fruition is my life's work.
