About Kate Katelynn Hutchinson

Welcome & Hello, I am Kate —an Architectural Project Manager with over a decade of experience shaping education, healthcare, and public safety environments across the U.S. I bring a balance of design sensitivity, technical precision, and clear communication to every phase of a project—from early planning through construction administration.My background spans architectural design, construction documentation, and cross-disciplinary coordination, with a strong foundation in MEPT integration and telecommunication. Known for my attention to detail, I take pride in managing complex projects with consistency, foresight, and care—ensuring that coordination, documentation, and delivery align seamlessly from concept through construction.At SPS+ Architects, I’ve expanded my expertise to include technical writing, proposal development, and client-facing scope coordination, aligning project vision, budget, and delivery strategies through 1GPA and Mohave contract systems. I work closely with contractors under CMAR, DBB, DB, and JOC delivery methods, building relationships rooted in trust, accountability, and collaboration
