Technical Support & Design Consultation
- Serve as the trusted technical resource for the design community, providing expert guidance on detail drawings, custom specification writing, and submittal reviews.
- Resolve complex architectural queries to ensure seamless integration of Gaco systems into project construction documents.
Industry Engagement & Networking
- Maintain an active, visible presence in key industry associations, including the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI), the American Institute of Architects (AIA), and the International Building Performance Institute (IIBEC).
- Attend, network at, and present during regional and national trade shows, symposiums, and industry roundtables.
