“Sarah is exactly the person we’ve been looking for,” said Director of Buildings Services John Watkins. “Her structural engineering expertise, her understanding of and familiarity with the architect community, along with support from the full gamut of Garver’s building engineering design resources will bring a new level of service to architectural clients in the Houston area.”
Briscoe has worked on projects in and around Houston and across the country, leading structural design and documents preparation for buildings in different sectors, including industrial, educational, municipal, and health care. She understands and has experience with various structural systems, including reinforced concrete, structural steel, and wood framing.
Her projects include a 40,000-square-foot, $16 million Instructional Arts Facility at Lone Star College in Houston; a 30,000-square-foot, two-story City Hall building for the City of Mont Belvieu, Texas; and the renovation of a 20,000-square-foot community living center, alongside an 18,000-square-foot building addition, for the Robert J. Dole Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Wichita, Kansas.
“The ability to bring the client’s vision to reality, to project manage, to see projects through from beginning to end, to work with different structural systems, and to deliver high quality projects are all evident in Sarah’s resume,” said Garver Buildings Engineering Practice Leader Brad Bradshaw. “She’s an incredibly valuable member of the Garver Buildings Team and will do great things for clients in the Houston area.”
