Jeff particularly enjoys starting up and organizing a large, complex civil or architectural project. He likes working with staff, clients, design teams, and contractors early to ensure that the project gets off on the right foot. "In 35 years of experience, I have seen too many projects that are not organized or set up for success. It is very important to set up each team member's roles, lines of communication, documentation, and project responsibilities and expectations early."

Standing in front of a finished project that everyone has worked together on and everyone is satisfied with when finished provides an immense sense of satisfaction and of having done right by future generations who will benefit from it.
