- Create drawings, 3D models, and presentations that clearly communicate ideas to clients and project teams
- Produce coordinated construction documents, including plans, elevations, details, schedules, and specifications
- Protect design quality through construction by reviewing markups, managing RFIs and submittals, joining site visits, and resolving conflicts early
