Besides providing architectural design, the talent that Jeff brings to the table is that of oversight and project management. He specializes in commercial projects of all sizes and complexities, with multiple consultants, ranging from an $80 million dollar Performing Arts center to small commercial projects. He focuses on the details and technical aspects as well as the big picture and takes great pride in providing precise Construction Documents. He believes that issues and opportunities should be recognized in the design phase, before any concrete is poured. He has represented Owners in the efforts with governmental agencies and design review boards to move projects forward.

This wide range of representational projects which show management and
coordination as well as design:

Project Manager/Project Architect (consultant and team management):

The Clay Center for the Performing Arts, with an 1800 seat performance hall, IMAX Theater, Art Museum, Black Box, and support structures created a complexity of the systems, and the need to manage a team of 15 consultant, and three contractors on site. I was hired to coordinate and complete and incomplete set of documents which had already been permitted and was under construction. This required development of the team and continual  coordination, and communication between the Ownership, the design team, and the construction team, to maintain a consistent construction schedule. This project is a prime example of building teamwork within the project team, working with numerous government agencies, and coordination with multiple ownership groups.

Project Manager/Project Architect (completeness of documents): 

Senior Services Center, Greensboro, North Carolina, was an agency based project, and involved providing for the different agency needs and requirements. This $4 million dollar project was a complete team effort with the agency. At bid, five bids were received, with a bid spread of approximate $60,000. It should also be noted that this project generated no design team based Change Orders.

Project Manager/PIC (coordination of team and design): 

Fashion Place Mall, Murray Utah, consisted of a reworking and seismic upgrade of the existing structural, to support and work with new expansion design and structural system in an active seismic zone. This project also remained in business during the entire upgrade and expansion process.
