About David Virtue

Registered Architect: CaliforniaIntegrated Project DeliveryIndustry 4.0LEAN PracticeLEED am an award-winning, licensed and registered architect with over 25 years of experience in designing leading and building over $5.8B in large and complex projects throughout the world.PHILOSOPHY - Seek simplicity Make the complex simple by discovering shared values, commonalities and conceptual alignments. Seeking the simple is uncovering the truth. Truth is beauty. LEADERSHIP - Act with courage, compassion and wisdom.A leader removes obstacles allowing for everyone\'s success. A leader must be responsible (responding as one is able to), bringing people together, creating stability, and then building and growing on that stability. CAREER - Leave the world more beautiful than found.My career has focused upon improving and seeking a new structure in which the design and architecture profession may flourish, as the old ways of doing things have not worked for some time. Within diverse venues, I have always sought a better way to design and build. Through these efforts, I have developed a clear process for design, management and creating value. MY PROCESS - Do the right thing, and do the thing right.Understand the values of all shareholders, uncover where alignments lay, understand the order of things, create a workflow and execute on that plan. This is not merely a theoretical exercise, but one that has proven results of higher quality design, profitability and client satisfaction. The fundamental concept is enlightening the team to distinguish effectiveness from efficiency.PROJECT TYPESAcademicCommercialCulturalHealth CareHigh RiseHousing (multi-family, senior + student)LaboratoriesPrivate ResidentialTransportation
