To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Mark Lane and I worked in the building sciences for 12 years with construction companies and architectural
firms. Recently, I acquired the Construction Document Technologist certification and plan to sit for the LEED certification on June
12, for which I am currently studying. My construction and architectural experiences combine residential and commercial upfits,
historic residential renovations, tilt-panel warehouse construction and new multi-family. Throughout most of my architectural career,
I have been placed in a position as a lead detailer due to my previous construction experience. Though my focus has been largely on
multi-family projects of varying scale, I am willing to perform all sectors of design and look forward to the diversity. Also, code
review is very important to me and I constantly strive for methods to create a clarity and communication between the construction
drawings and code sections. As a result, the last 300+ unit multi-family project that I completed passed through permitting without a
single code-review comment, saving the firm from a potentially timely resubmittal process. Please consider my qualifications for any
position that you feel may be advantageous to your firm, and I would be glad to visit the office for an interview to discuss any
options.
