Julie McDonald
Region V Director

I have always been passionate about buildings. Their height, strength, and endless possibilities encouraged me to pursue a career in construction management and building envelope consulting. I have been in this industry for 15 years and believe firmly in the importance of high quality and safety when it comes to buildings.

The building envelope is the most important asset of the building. I love the form and function of buildings and the ability to keep the outside out, and the inside in. I help building owners and developers achieve their standards of high level building performance and constructing buildings according to plan. I bring with me a highly trained and organized team of industry experts to help take the weight and stress off of the building owner.
