WORK EXPERIENCE
NSA Architects Engineers Planners (Farmington Hills, MI)
A/E Field Representative 12/2004 - 4/2008.
The responsibility of observing construction and evaluating
compliance with documents was done on the two new campuses for Erickson
Retirement Communities, in the Chicagoland Area. Building construction
varied from precast parking decks to steel panel bearing wall residential
buildings. Documenting unacceptable conditions, coordinating the resolution
of the same, following construction progress, comparing progress to
schedule, and reviewing pay applications with change orders were all part
of the work
Primera Engineers & Architects (Chicago, IL)
Construction Field Manager 4/ 1998 - 12/2004.
As a Construction Field Manager for Primera my services are contracted
to Tishman Construction Corporation to complement their construction
management team, which is doing renovations for the Chicago Public Schools.
In this capacity I coordinated contracts for up to seven schools at one
time. My responsibilities are to observe construction, evaluate schedules,
review and approve pay requests for processing, and coordinate the
interface between the architect, the contractor, and the schools.

Healy, Snyder, Bender & Associates (Naperville, IL)
Field Representative 7/1991 - 4/1998.
As architectural field representative, my primary responsibility was
to observe construction and compliance with bid documents for multiple
projects. This simple definition does not adequately describe the tasks
involved in this work. The field representative is the eyes and ears for
the engineers of all trades: mechanical, electrical, structural, and
architectural. It is necessary to understand the design intent of the
building and code requirements to do this. I was the liaison between the
owner and the contractors, reviewing on behalf of the owner all change
orders and pay requests to assure that they are in order, not exceeding
present construction status. This position is also the good-will
ambassador for the architectural firm, informing the owners of the status
of their projects, including necessary corrections for problems. I
expedited solutions so that construction is not interrupted unnecessarily.
All this is done through periodic job site visits and continual reporting
too the principals of the company.
Teng and Associates (Chicago, IL)
Project Representative 6/1990 - 7/1991
The responsibilities of a Project Representative on a design/build
project begin with coordination of the incomplete phases (electrical &
mechanical) to assure that the bidding of these phases proceeds as
scheduled without interfering with the project schedule. During this time
and throughout the project I observed all construction to assure compliance
with bid documents and OSHA regulations. Because this was a design/build
project, I flagged potential problems and coordinated required changes and
requests for information between engineering and construction so that the
construction process was not affected. As part of coordination to keep the
job moving and to meet cost requirements, I generated hand sketches and
drafted documents as needed, which resulted in appropriate changed orders,
which were reviewed for accuracy. When problems did arise, I created or
assisted with solutions in order to see that the project stayed within
budget and time constraints. Other duties included processing pay
requests, reviewing pre-bids for pricing completeness, and giving site
tours for municipal inspectors as they reviewed the project for compliance
with laws and ordinances.
