Alan Judson, of Alan Judson and Associates, Architects, has completed many public and private new building projects over the past twenty years, as well as numerous restorations and remodelings, with a strong background in public and private education projects. Alan has also provided clients with building evaluation and estimating as a component of modernizations, rehabilitations, and master planning of existing religious, educational, and institutional facilities.
The change from working as a principal in Gillis-Judson-Wade, Architects, to Alan Judson and Associates has also meant a change in office structure. Alan has established a close collaborative relationship with several architects who are independent businesses, but who outsource work to each other as their workloads dictate. The phrase, "virtual office," has been used to describe this networking of computers by e-mail. Alan's key associate in this endeavor is Larry Mortimer of Kahn / Mortimer Associates located in Oakland. This informal partnership produced the construction documentation for the new Sacred Heart Church at 40th and Martin Luther King Jr. Way in Oakland, valued at $1,369,000 (dedicated on Easter Sunday 1999), and full architectural services for the Loma Vista Elementary School in Brentwood, California, valued at $6 million, among other projects.
Alan Judson and Associates' primary strengths result from the fact that the principal architect is involved in the day-to-day, 'hands-on,' direction of the projects. All too often, where large design firms are concerned, client contact is delegated to the first available associate after the contract is signed. Your primary contact will be with Alan from start to finish.
