- Managed architectural design teams for production of final construction documents. This entailed significant coordination with architectural and engineering teams to ensure plans met Hobby Lobby standards, especially with variances each project provided.
- Hiring of new architectural firms and training them in Hobby Lobby’s method of drawing development.
- Managed permitting team to achieve building permits in each projects jurisdiction. This included working through city, county, and state processes with a significant variance of requirements to reconcile.
- Hired site survey companies to perform pre-design surveys. Trained contracted companies to meet company standards.
- Managed in house CAD design team including setting schedules and deadlines.
- Coordinated with our real estate department to provide valuable feedback for design and construction ramifications so the lease could better protect the interests of the company.
- Performed lease reviews to ensure projects were in compliance on both the landlord’s side as well as the companies.
- Performed ground-up coordination for the department. This was heavy in development and review of civil drawings. I was responsible for ensuring critical design information was provided by landlord such as the civil drawings, environmental reports, geotechnical reports and shopping center or city exterior design standards.
- Ground-up coordination required significant communication between myself, landlords, developers, real estate brokers and construction managers via conference calls and e-mails while balancing contrasting personalities and philosophies to achieve a successful end product that all parties were proud to take a part in.
- Coordinate with landlords on tenant improvement projects much in a similar fashion to ground-up projects. Typically this coordination involved demising and shell finish out through all construction disciplines.
- Schedule and present project to construction team for conceptual estimate meetings. I provided the final conceptual estimate report to the Real Estate department for their use in finalizing the lease.
- Worked with construction field operations to resolve RFI’s and issues that arose during the construction process.
- Quality control of the CAD departments drawings as part of the team QC process.
- Performed site survey building evaluations as necessary when survey company was unable to meet our schedule.
- Assisted designers on their projects to ensure correct standards were being met.
- Transfer site survey information to CAD for use in new design. Trained them into Hobby Lobby’s method of site survey and ensured required information was provided in a clear user friendly manner.
- Create complete sets of criteria drawings for transfer to architects for completion of construction documents. This includes floor plans, fixture plans, elevations, HVAC design, electrical drawings, energy management and telecom plans.
