About 

  My name is Carlos Alvarado, I graduated from Woodbury University in 1999 with a bachelor’s degree in Architecture.  I have been involved in the Architecture and Construction field for the past 20 years.  My career endeavor  has allowed me to be involved in multiple building types ranging from Single Family Residence, K-12 Educational, Higher Education, Health Care, and Multi-Family residential.  I am a detail oriented professional who strives to make a difference, dedicated, responsible, relentless to ensure projects I am involved are successful.  One of the fundamental characteristics that separates me from other professionals is the “Get it Done” attitude,  problems are resolved by relentless effort to make it right.  For the past 7 years I have been involved in the construction administration phase, coordination of construction documents between production team & design professionals, and project management.
