Los Angeles, CA
Architectural coordination specialist with over thirty years in luxury construction. Closing the gap between design intent and structural reality on the most demanding custom architectural projects in Los Angeles.
We specialize in meticulously coordinated, zero-tolerance dimension-control drawings, resolution of exotic construction assemblies, and mentoring a new generation of architects to bring construction coordination into their world.
Capabilities
1. Dimension-Control Drawings
Zero-tolerance packages that unify architectural, structural, MEP, civil, and interior design work into a single, highly risk-reduced set.
2. 3D Rhino Modeling
Full construction document sets modeled exactly as drawn — surfacing every indeterminate condition before it ever reaches the field.
3. Exotic Assembly Resolution
Brainstorming and design collaboration to resolve one of a kind assemblies.
4. CPM Scheduling
Just-in-time coordination of evolving designs, kept out in front of construction so long-lead scopes arrive on time and fit perfectly.

Whole-House Shop Drawings
3D Rhino modeling & 2D AutoCAD Coordination Drawings
2017 – present
Full construction document sets imported into 3D Rhino to create forensic test models exposing every indeterminate condition across all design scopes allowing each condition to be efficiently resolved with the design team’s approval allowing long lead time oders to show up on time and fit perfectly.

Architectural Concrete
Field Superintendent
2005 – 2024
Started out as hand-drafted building sections and concrete wall elevations on the back of leftover plans. Evolved into comprehensive 3D models and exactingly precise 2D plans, elevations and details.

Fine Art Foundation
MFA, UCLA · BFA, CSULB
1988 – 1993
A trained eye for proportion and form, 12 years of formal arts education, studio assistantships with noted artists. The same instinct to understand materials by working them by hand that later found its way onto job sites.

Full construction document sets are modeled exactly as drawn, exposing every indeterminate condition so they can be resolved with the design team through RFIs and submittals.
As early as possible, to develop just-in-time coordination to keep long-lead time scopes like structural steel and glazing out in front of construction, so they show up on time and fit together perfectly.
