Example candidateA structured process for the licensed project architect hire — where the wrong PA triggers code-review gaps, coordination misses, and CA response failures that surface as RFIs and change orders.
30-minute call. Align on sector, jurisdiction, project mix, licensure requirements, CA workload, and start date.
Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 Project Architects with active NCARB records, verified sector experience, and licensure in your target jurisdictions.

Reference-verified sector experience: IBC use group, occupancy load, life-safety strategy, jurisdictional AHJ familiarity.
Reference-verified construction administration record: RFI response, submittal review, punchlist rigor, close-out documentation.
Every candidate is credential-verified, client-referenced, and matched to your sector and jurisdiction. Anonymized examples below reflect real placement profiles.
