I LOVE helping designers, specifiers, contractors, building owners and even consumers select just the right building product for their construction project! I gain immense satisfaction from bringing CLARITY to building codes, specs, construction contracts and drawing details.My name is Steve Lawrey and I'm a Building Science Engineer with a diverse history in the commercial construction industry. I've spent the past 25+ years in a variety of roles ranging from architectural drafter to project architect to spec writer, to where I am today—in the Technical Service group of the industry leader in architectural weatherproofing product innovation.My experience as a specifier has given me a broad strategic view of the construction industry. I understand the roles and relationships among the numerous project stakeholders and how each participant effects the facility lifecycle. Plus, I know building materials & methods of construction inside out.I keep my finger on the pulse of the construction industry and building envelope technology by serving on CSI & ASTM committees and participating in USGBC, BEC & AIA affairs.During 12 years as specifier for 2 of Philadelphia's largest architectural firms, I published project manuals for 300 construction projects without missing a deadline. For CertainTeed I led a year-long project to compile regulatory agency approvals for 500 roofing products into a database for ease in managing customer inquiries, expirations and product labeling.So, why did I pursue a career in building materials?Foremost was an opportunity to partner with project stakeholders like you to contribute to significantly greater numbers of construction/renovation projects. My mission is to partner with YOU—A/Es, PMs, installers, owner's reps, CxAs, etc. to help REALIZE YOUR VISION.My focus moving forward is to help our customers design durable, sustainable, sexy facades and to continue advocating for the construction industry.
