Background:
Streamlining Design and Construction Processes
My initial role after graduation involved residential design with a custom home development company. While initially tasked solely with creating new home designs, I quickly identified an opportunity to improve the company’s overall efficiency.
The firm was experiencing negative cash flow at the time of my arrival. To address this challenge, I modified the process that reduced the six months construction period to 11 weeks. Through a series of strategic improvements, I was able to streamline the process.
The house pictured here exemplifies a design that met the expedited schedule. Remarkably, this photograph was taken more than 40 years after completion demonstrating the enduring quality of the design and landscaping elements.
Conclusion:
Within the 12 months of my tenure, the firm achieved a significant financial turnaround transition from negative cash flow to a position of financial security. This case study highlights not only my design capabilities but also my ability to optimize processes for improved project delivery and profitability.
