George Kopec, AIA, LEED AP-BD+C
Director of Quality ControlThe Guru
George thrives on taking a deep dive into reviewing all aspects of a project and identifying ways to minimize the risk of delays and additional costs during construction. With over four decades of hands-on design and construction experience, he enjoys sharing his knowledge with all staff members by way of his guidance on technical skills and design challenges.
Always striving for project efficiency, George maintains the firm’s office standards and procedures for specifications, construction documents, and code review. His natural ability to mentor junior staff members makes him an ideal fit for this role.
Having managed projects of all sizes for New Jersey public agencies and private clients during his career, George knows intuitively how buildings go together and how to meet and exceed a client’s and project’s goals. From full new ground-up construction projects to capital improvements such as roofing, window replacement, or HVAC upgrades, he always seeks out practical solutions to any project challenge, and makes sure bid documents are as clear as possible for contractors.
When not in the office, George enjoys getting his flannel shirt and tool belt on, dusting off the table saw and nail gun, and tackling the latest home repair or renovation. He hasn’t confessed whether he truly emulates Norm Abram by tahking with a Bahstahn accent while installing crown molding, but we have our suspicions.
