Creating Structure Podcast #30, Kevin McClintick, PE, CEO, Principal Design Engineer, AWS Inc

Kevin McClintick, PE, is a professional engineer, company founder and owner of Architectural Wall Systems, Inc, (AWS), Director of MCAL Software, LLC, and a structural and systems engineering specialist in curtain wall, cladding, exterior architectural component systems. 

This is a unique and engaging discussion between industry peers, competitors, and professional engineers - two company founders, CEO's, curtain wall/cladding/facade design professionals, PE's, riffing about and romping through a wide swath of industry history, present reality, and future trending/shaping. We discuss architecture, engineering, value, making the client the hero, and more. 

1 hour and 17 minutes of pure gold. (There's a few second gap at 34:20 to 34:25 or so due to a messy internet connection. Please bear with the pause and transition there. Otherwise, strap in!

Some Topics:

• What do structural engineers in the glass/glazing/curtain wall industry do? How do they provide value? (or how should they provide value?)
• Making the client the hero
• Client first; begin with the end in mind
• Providing what's right and true vs. being conservative and subjective
• Risk and liability
• What's "behind the PE stamp"
• Thinking like the client-the installer
• Training
• Experience
• Virtual design and construction
• Industry icons
• Early engineering pioneers in the curtain wall space

Kevin also talks about their Trademarked brand "Engineer TRUE". There's so much more. You'll just have to listen to hear the rest!
