Wendy Garrod
Project Manager
Resort & Hospitality
With twenty years in design and construction including ground up and tenant improvement experience, my focus is assuring the guest’s experience is held in high regard. My attention to detail is paired with a creative sense of problem solving. I look forward to utilizing my diverse experience working on various types of projects such as hospitality, retail, spas and resorts. I enjoy working with all levels of the operation and design teams, and am attentive to their needs and requirements with consideration of the master plan. I have recently had the opportunity to work with the engineering department to identify and create maintenance program for the various property systems (HVAC, Life Fire Safety, Kitchen Equipment, and room maintenance) in need of a deep clean and recertification's. I have worked with sub-contractors to create and facililitate the program. In doing so I've found the need to develop a responsibility matrix for each property.
Results
I've experienced the "thrill of victory" when completing
a job with the Owner (and everyone involved) extatic over
the results. My determination and talent strives toward that
objective with every detail and dollar considered. I've also seen the failure of management as a project goes over-budget and ultimately fails. I take my projects personal, and am devoted to success as its defined by the Owner's Vision.
Planning
Management is about a great plan brought together in
a responsible budget and maintained in a professional
arrangement. It requires each team member to take the responsiblity of their task seriously. The Managers job is to instill encouragement,
rally the team, and move toward the unified target. With so many facets
and personalities intertwined, management requires tact and tenacity to
complete the desired result. I have a track-record for success.
