Designer- MAD / IAI / TAC / NAA / SDG / HWA / HTK / KSU / WPC / DCI / DAI
Involved with specific projects as the Designer. However, design is the entire process
for the projects; details must follow in the same family. Decision must be followed
through in the field to maintain the desired results. Design is in the details, design is in
the specifications, design is in the budget. Once the program for the owners is
established, taking the data and developing solutions that support and meet the needs of
the users. The following projects were very successful:
- Ajo Recreation Center, Ajo, AZ / received an award for Outstanding Facility from
the Arizona Parks and Recreation Association in 1992.
- San Diego Fire Department, Fire Station #20, toilet design became the new
standard for the department and was instituted on projects.
- Fire Station #3, Tucson Fire Department, Assistant Fire Chief Wilson
commented, "It is obvious by this design that you have listened to all of us!"
Design Excellence is listening and responding to the needs of the users, clients and
owners. Success is implementing the solution with in the budgetary constraints of the
projects.
Planner- MAD / IAI / TAC / NAA / SDG / HWA / ADP / HTK / KSU
Performed planning services from space planning of interior office to master planning of

the needs of the organization and projecting into the future to see the direction of the
organization. The planning documentation permits the decision makers for the
organizations to make intelligent decisions. This is supported with the numbers,
schedules and projected costs. Examples of successful planning efforts are:

as outlined in the specifications for all Corps of Engineers project in excess of two million
dollars and a number of the Naval Facilities Engineering Command projects, we
provided a single point responsibility for outside registrant review of contractor
submittals. We bid the projects to the general contractors to do complete document
review and approval as required by the contract documents. Review was for compliance
with design drawings and specifications.

In the support of serving respective clients and projects a number of investigations were
performed to determine the viability of the structures and environment. The needs
assessment and facilities delinquencies are observed and documented. The reports
were developed to explain the findings. Several were actually recommended that the
solution is to find a different facility. The completion of the reports determined the next
steps and lead into the completion of designs and facilities.
Consultant / Design -TAC / NAA / KSU / CCS / WPC
In the pursuit of design excellence, have be commission to be a design consultant to

consultation during construction. The projects are from labs for mining companies to
office facilities for petroleum distribution facilities. The largest is the Federal Courthouse
in Phoenix at $115,000,000 and the smallest is the Stoner residence addition in Tucson.
The planning included from Lisa Frank Industries to Sacred Hearts Elementary School.
Cost Estimator-IAI / TAC / NAA / SDG / ADP / CCS
In an effort to deliver the successful projects, with concept to Budget Adherence,
experience has developed a process to determine accurate estimates for construction
projects. The training is to break apart of the construction to allow the development o
accurate and complete construction estimates. Have estimated projects to within plus or
minus five per cent. There has been accuracy to within point zero five percent of the
construction estimate and the bid. The Tucson Unified School District was impressed
and grateful for the accuracy to be able to factor in the alternates. There is also the
ability to program to the level of the estimate. The Pima County Parks and Recreation
facility in Ajo, Arizona was maximized. The program had a facility size costing over
$750,000 and through the design and cost estimate the program was reestablished and
brought within the project budget.
Value Engineering TAC / NAA / SDG / CCS
In the guidelines of Society of American Value Engineers (SAVE), have received the forty
hour certified training in the Value Engineering Team Studies. Have participated in
twenty value engineering studies as project manager and architect totaling close to

recommendations in value engineering proposals with approximately three per cent
accepted into the projects. The projects were from $2,000,000 to $100,000,000 in value.
Specification Production IAI / TAC / NAA / SDG / HWA
In the development of the Successful Projects, the Quality Performance was continued
through the preparation of specification documents. The specification production was to
compliment the drawings. The drawings were to establish the size, quantity and location
of the elements of the construction project; therefore the specifications were to establish
the quality, performance and extent of the elements. These types of specification
developed were satisfactory for public sector bidding, such as performance based
comparative specifications. The specifications have been produced both as part of the
drawings and separate book specifications.
Teacher / Instructor TTC / IAI / TAC / NAA / ADP / HTK / KSU / CCS / TCCC / SDCC
The experience within and outside the profession has permitted the ability to teach or
instruct. The service has been performing the service of teaching as with Kansas State
University, teaching first students to working within a given project, informing
communities of the progress and status of respective projects. Within the church, being

hundred. The delivery methods are developed dependent on the situation.
