Working with contractors and homeowners I guide clients through entire permit/inspection process, ensuring compliance and clarity. I work with engineers and building officials throughout the Bay Area. Applied for permits for residential additions. Conducted site surveys, capturing detailed measurements and notes to support accurate permit applications. Assembled a complete permit package featuring my architectural drawings and engineered drawings provided by the manufacturer. These drawings are required to meet Planning and Building Codes. I handle submission, response to comments and all administrative paperwork. I've obtained permits from over 50 Bay Area Cities and 7 Counties.

Contributed to the Construction Management team during a large-scale overhaul of the Lytton facility in Canoga Park after Northrop bought Lytton. I handled paperwork, coordinated construction schedules, liaised between Northrop, Design Firm Trammell Crow and the Contractor, set inspections and escorted City Inspectors to the appropriate facility on the campus.

Performed a variety of administrative tasks for several different departments including phone answering, scheduling, reports, forms, data entry, spreadsheets and time cards. I rewrote and redesigned the office manual. Provided tech support for the office, handling software installations, desktop computer builds, and printer maintenance.
