I had the privilege to have my hand in every step of the process to ensure that this project became a reality! Starting in 2020 I prepared rough grading and preliminary cost estimated ranges based on final product choices and layout. I then prepared many 3D virtual models to give stakeholders and the public a sense of scale and massing and help with marketing and decision making.

Once the school board accepted the project, I just straight into designing the ~14Ac site to best accommodate all aspects of a weel functioning athletic facility. I saw the project through the design phase and into bidding where the multimillion-dollar bid came in with in 1.5% of the estimate that I prepared for our client.

Once construction had started, I was the point person for the design team. Attending progress meetings, reviewing shop drawings, reviewing pay applications, and keeping thorough field documentation for this project became part of my routine each week.
