F
WH Associates, P.A. was founded in 1989. We
started as a very small company providing consulting
engineering and land surveying services for develop-
ers and homeowners throughout NJ. As the company grew
and the communities we designed were under construction,
we worked closely with the property managers on these
sites. FWH began to provide engineering and architecture
services to community associations in the early 90s based
on those initial relationships. The property managers and
other professionals we worked with told us about this orga-
nization called CAI. FWH subsequently joined CAI and
has benefitted from our involvement ever since.
What is your role in the organization? What is
your background? How long have you been
in the industry?
I am a principal in the company and the director of our
Community Association Department. I also oversee all of the
construction inspection activities performed by FWH. My
background includes growing up in a large family with a
construction background. My father owned a commercial
construction company and one of my six siblings is also a pro-
fessional engineer. I started my career at the age of 14 mak-
ing blueprints at my brother’s engineering office. I graduated
from Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ in 1988
as a structural engineer. I have been working with community
associations since 1992 when I joined FWH.
Is there a specific project or program that you
would like to highlight? Please describe.
The team at FWH takes pride in helping community
associations through complex renovation projects. We are
very proud of our recent projects at the Renaissance at
Manchester Clubhouse Complex. On this project, FWH
evolved an extensive renovation concept into a successful
design, coordinated the bidding process, and provided the
construction oversight through completion. FWH worked
closely with the board, property management team, the
various contractors, and the municipality to renovate and
upgrade the exterior and certain interior spaces of the club-
house and other community buildings.
FWH also provides drone services including build-
ing inspections, site inspections, aerial mapping and
topography, thermal imaging, construction progress and
realty marketing. FWH’s drone operators are FAA
licensed pilots who have received their Certified Small
FWH Associates, P.A.
