summary

 

A conscientious worker with over 25 years of architectural experience (17 of these in the BC construction industry), I treat every project I am assigned with the same diligence, be it a small interior or a large residential development.   My work experience ranges from the modern and traditional residential (both single and multi-family) to both small and large scale commercial renovation.   

 

My current tasks cover a wide range of a projects life-cycle : from early preliminary design (utilizing both hand sketches and Sketchup for modelling), through contract documentation (including permit drawings and detailing), to site administration where I will act as sole representative of the office at site meetings during the construction phase and liason with all consultants involved.

 

I have always paid special attention to project presentation.  Please review samples of my work for evidence of my abilites at your leisure.  Email me at jskinnider@novuscom.net for the password to my website (www.skinnider.com).
