Darren S. McLain
Offering over 16 years experience as a Project Manager,
Job Captain, CAD Manager, and Drafter
Successful passing of the Architects Registration Exam and the California Supplemental Exam.
Careful performance of schematic design, design development, construction documents (including detailing and specification writing), bidding & negotiation, and construction administration duties, for commercial, residential, and ecclesiastical projects, always striving for the satisfaction of all stakeholders.
Competent coordination with consultants including Structural, Mechanical, Plumbing, Electrical, Civil, Landscape Architects, and Specification Writers, as well as specialty consultants such as Acoustical, Lighting, Audio/Visual and commercial Kitchen consultants, tying the various disciplines together toward success.
Successful interaction with clients, developers, planning & building departments, health departments, building inspectors, and contractors through all phases of design and construction.
Effective setup and maintenance of CAD systems, standards, and libraries for an eight-station network. Trained junior and senior staff toward increased productivity both in-house and in other offices as well.
Proficiency in AutoCAD, Architectural Desktop, Acrobat, Photoshop, Word, and Excel. Extensive experience in 3D architectural modeling including furniture.
Created a well-organized detail library in which all details are grouped according to specification divisions and kept in tabbed 3-ring binders allowing quick search and selection, which in turn allows for efficient compilation of detail sheets.
Spearheaded entire workflow from design through construction for remodel and addition to my own home. I regard this endeavor as very important in that it gave me experience in the construction side of the process, especially in decision making when it comes to encountering conditions that could not be known unless the existing finishes were removed.
