Thinking I would teach English for a year and travel, instead I soon found a job doing project management for CH2MHill, doing typical intern tasks like filing papers, running errands, and the occasional drafting assignment.

They think they know what they want, how much it will cost and how long it will take to design and build it. They start with half the budget they need for the project they have in mind. Most architects I know are in the design business. Then we get started and prepare our designs. Sound familiar?

Life of an Architect

NOVEMBER 30, 2014

It’s a pattern that has developed over the years since I have a kid and my wife and I have an arrangement where she drops my daughter off at school in the morning and I take care of the evening pickups. Weekly job site meetings are really important to the flow of a successfully managed project.
