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.

William (Bill) Erickson, SCDP

Bill Erickson SCDP has 15+ years helping leading brand store chains such as The Men’s Wearhouse(TMW), and large land owners turn their real estate portfolios into revenue streams by achieving multimillion dollar retail and residential development projects on time and within budget.   Bill led TMW’s real estate development growth from an initial base of 20 stores to launching over 1100 stores in 4 divisions across 49 states.  In 2007 alone, Bill managed P&L for more than $62 million of new-store construction, relocation/remodeling from lease to construction, rebranding of acquisitions and development and buildout of new merchandising concepts.  He spearheaded successful completion of on average 150 multi-year, multimillion dollar projects (100 new or expansion locations and 50 remodels) per year across 3 divisions while implementing significant construction cost and risk management features, enabling results such as being successful in 90% of 18-24 variances per year.

Bill sought his next challenge and accepted the call from Harbor Freight Tools to drive development and construction of ‘junior anchor” stores as large as 18,000 square feet in locations across the United States.   Upon arrival Bill devised a new real estate strategy and process to analyze markets nationwide for the most advantageous deals.   As a result of his new real estate strategy and targeting, the real estate expanded pipeline by nearly 100%.  And through his lease renegotiation, process streamlining, general administration and management, they cut construction time and costs by 50%.

Bill’s expertise in real estate investment analysis and acquisition had been honed at TMW where he’d recommended acquisition or divestiture of leased or purchased properties of up to $161.7M, and was able to deliver on 100% of target of new store locations per month for 48 months.

Finally, Bill is most appreciative of being able to honor the environment, by for example, increasing TMW’s post consumer waste purchases by 75% via initiating changes in packaging materials, lighting and fuel consumption after conducting a “green”, corporate sustainability (CSR) review.  And to top it off, he is an all-round nice guy.  Most of his 5 direct reports and 27 indirect reports readily admit they would kill to work with or for him again; which helps, since he is currently seeking his next expanding retailer or developer to assist—smile.
