About Lee Harrison

I’m the founder of Axiom PLLC, a structural engineering firm that’s unique because we deliver the trifecta of commercial construction: cost predictability for complex projects on compressed timeframes. We’re able to successfully complete projects that other firms can’t because I’m a structural engineering innovator who works at the intersection of structural engineering, profitability, and productivity. The result of that expertise is that I redesigned the industry-standard process to eliminate the waste, rework, and lost productivity that are the hallmarks of both the engineering industry and the materials procurement process. I replaced them with a more agile project management approach that values the input of all partners and creates a roadmap for success.AXIOM’S SERVICES:• Structural Engineering• Integrated Steel Delivery• Digital Construction Facilitation (BIM)MARKETS WE SERVE: We work with general contractors, architects, and companies with in-house construction on projects starting at $20 million in the following sectors across the United States (licensed in 32 states) and abroad: • Volumetric Modular• Education (K-12 and Higher Education)• Healthcare (Hospitals and Medical Centers)• Industrial • Multifamily• Commercial• Government (Federal and State)WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE: Our process is similar to what the Lean Construction Institute calls Target Value Design. We incorporate Pull Planning principles and Last Planner-style project management, but I find that our unique approach—and our results—are new to major general contractors. To date, Axiom has designed over $500 million worth of projects using these principles. HOW TO REACH ME: Connect with me on LinkedIn and visit our website at

Experience

1. Principal Founder

   Axiom Engineering, a Salas O'Brien Company

   Jun 2011 — Present

   As the founder and principal of Axiom PLLC, I bring a unique and grounded understanding of costs to every structural challenge based on more than 20 years of experience working on large-scale projects using a blend of structural materials. My work portfolio stretches throughout the Western U.S, the East coast, and across the Atlantic. I believe in the power of digital collaboration across all teams to streamline handoffs, decrease change orders, and increase speed. My passion for exploring new and more efficient ways of designing and building structures is disrupting industry norms. Click the link below for more information on recent projects.
