Project Role:

I acted as the Senior Project Architect from the beginning of the schematic design phase until 50% CD phase. My duties included coordination with all consultants, stakeholders / clients, authorities having jurisdiction, and the general contractor. I acted as the production architect up to a completed bid set, but moved to a new project before the completion of CDs. I did continue to consult the team through the end of permitting and into a very difficult construction administration phase.

The strengths I developed on the project include detail knowledge and coordination of:

• Idaho building codes as well as the use of ComCheck for energy efficiency compliance.
• Private, developer-led design standards
• Cold weather envelope design
• Floodplain design
• Bottom-chord bearing floor truss systems
• Residential (noncommercial) quality cladding systems
• Tight lot-line and fire access constraints
• Late-stage MEP design-build strategies
