Tim’s firm will provide additional resources as needed so construction drawings can be completed by the
being of May.
Tim believes that becoming an architect is a calling ... that it's not a career you stumble into. With his
impressive list of professional honors and awards, its clear he did not become an architect by default.
It's a case of total immersion. Tim is captivated by the complexities of performing arts projects,
particularly the integration of specialized systems like rigging, lighting and acoustics.

Run
We have chosen Alpha Management group to run our house. They are located on several campuses,
including the Ann Arbor and they specialize in the operations and maintenance/renovation of
fraternity/sorority houses. Their website is http://alphamg.net/ . They have proven to be an invaluable
resource in telling us best practices among fraternities and they also have been managing our house for

4. 10+ years as a provider to the renter Phi Kappa Psi. They have also helped us complete as‐built
drawings, property survey, house renovation plans and a variety of operating activities.
From their Website:
Alpha Management Group combines a unique set of skills in property management, real estate,
construction, and the Greek system which allows our team to offer programing and services that
meet the special needs of fraternities, sororities and our group housing clients. We are fully
staffed, licensed and insured as property managers, real estate consultants and building
contractors. Over the past 20 years, we have worked for over 50 fraternities and sororities
completing over $6 million in repairs and improvements.
In 2007, Alpha launched its "Fraternities of Excellence" program, which provides comprehensive
management and advising to fraternity chapters and alumni. The program has been extremely
successful, doubling the number of groups we manage every year since. Last year our clients
experienced less than two percent of budgeted rent and dues income in losses due to
uncollected rents and fees. The facilities sustained fewer damages because our inspection
process holds the members accountable. Within many of our chapters, their fraternity culture
has improved significantly as they begin to focus more on leadership and values, and less on
facility problems. Our groups are receiving rents in line with the marketplace, and the alumni
corporations have been able to build reserves and improve their properties. Detailed monthly
financial statements, comparable rent studies, preventative maintenance programs and annual
improvement plans have made it easier for alumni to make decisions without having to spend
time on the daily burdens of managing a fraternity. Alumni volunteers now focus on more
enjoyable and important topics such as leadership, mentoring and advising. Because of this,
alumni participation has increased in a number of our groups.
AMG offers full service or an ala carte options. Select and pay for only the services that your
group requires. Add or take away services in the future as your needs change. This flexible
approach allows you to start with your areas of greatest weakness or areas where current
volunteers or vendors are not properly performing.
Our construction division would also be pleased to be considered for your repair and
improvement projects. Over the past 21 years, Alpha has built a reputation for craftsmanship,
creativity, dependability, excellent service and the ability to solve difficult building problems.
We have assembled a team with extensive knowledge and experience. Through our desire for
constant improvement and to better serve our clients, we actively pursue educational

5. opportunities in our industry. This has resulted in receiving many of our industry's highest
credentials.
