DNK Architects – Cincinnati, Ohio
Sr. Project Manager 2006 – 2010
DNK Architects Inc. is a small architectural design firm that specializes in large corporate clients within the inner city. Project costs ranged from $100,000 to $36,000,000. I was involved in taking projects from concept through completion. My job functions included client relations and overseeing design, specifications, and construction overview. Children’s Hospital Project which included a 6-story parking garage, a 6 story 350,000 SF medical facility and a 3 story 100,000 SF office structure. These projects were on budget and 2 months over schedule.
I was the project Manager for the renovation of the ICU for the University Hospital of Cincinnati. This was a very complex project because the ICU needed to stay operational during construction. This 8,000 SF space was broken down into 6 smaller projects for hospital operations. Due to proper planning, this project, though complicated, came in on schedule and budget.
