A Day as an Architect

Wondering what it's like to be part of the Architecture team at Excel? 
 
Let's introduce you to Kallie Ogi, a skilled Architect and Interior Designer within our Architecture group. Kallie and her team tackle a diverse range of projects, spanning from churches and schools to corporate offices and industrial facilities. What truly excites Kallie about her role is the opportunity to collaborate with project owners; their enthusiasm throughout the design process and witnessing their reactions to the finished product are some of her favorite aspects. 
 
A day in the life of an architect like Kallie revolves around efficient project management, involving regular communication with project owners and contractors, managing project schedules, and close collaboration with the internal design team. Our architects also engage in sketching, drafting, reviewing shop drawings, and conducting on-site visits. They interact daily with Principals, fellow project managers, as well as structural and MEP designers.
