My name is Mitchell Hirschklau, and I am an experienced commercial real estate "support" professional. By that I mean that I am an architectural draftsman with a long history of working for corporate facility teams, real estate and property management organizations, or for architectural firms which service such businesses.
I have had substantial experience working for (or within) corporate facility teams such as AT&T, AT&T Wireless, Bank of New York, Chemical Bank, and Merrill Lynch & Company - and, similarly, with commercial real estate organizations such AMB, C.B.Richard Ellis, Coldwell Banker, First Industrial, Jones Lang LaSalle, and Weichert Commercial.
I can survey a building or buildings (from "scratch" if necessary), and then draft architectural building floor plan databases. And, I can maintain those drawing databases with either regular surveys, or by integrating supplied information from the various architect's construction documents.
I am well experienced in space planning too: Everything from informal "what-if" plans, stacking plans, formal proposals, and the actual Construction Documents. Also, I have expertise in A.D.A. compliance survey, as well as Distance-of-Travel / Fire Egress issues.
I have created (and maintained) Corporate Space Allocation "Rent Books", generated monthly space allocation reports, and prepared annual space allocation forecasts. I am well versed in multiple Real Estate S.F. calculation methodologies (B.O.M.A. and the like) and the generation of Lease Exhibits. And, I have performed numerous Architectural "Due Diligence" surveys: mapping the building footprint, drafting the base floor plans, and preparing the S.F. ("Actual", "Useable", and "Rentable") report.
You will find, I think, that there are a number of areas of experience - and expertise - which I might bring to your team. While, obviously, my preference would be for full time employment, I would consider part-time or contract assignment too.
I hope that we might have a conversation sometime soon.
