R.P. Newton, Production Manager I have been around construction sites my entire life. My earliest memories are of being toted around on weekend jobs with my father and uncle. I spent my high school summers doing demolition for large renovation projects and my college summers painting commercial and industrial projects. Despite all of my exposure to the construction industry, however, I never considered it to be my chosen profession. I went on to earn a degree in Economics and dabbled in other lines of work until 1998, when an opportunity to move to Charleston led me back to the construction field. I have never looked back since. For me, working at Structures never seems like a job. Each new house brings new challenges and hurdles that keep things new and exciting. I view each house as a puzzle. As an estimator, I get to be involved at an early stage, learn the architect's intended design and client's vision, and to make sure pieces will fit together before they are assembled. The motivation behind this tedium is the satisfaction that we met the customer's expectations. When I am not working, I enjoy reading, golf, tinkering in the yard, and spending time with my wife, Mandy, and our four-year-old son, Zach. rpnewton@structures.net The Structures team offers a novel perspective in home building.
