Questions answered by Dan Rush, RS

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 com-
mercial construction company and one of my six siblings
is also a professional engineer. I started my career at the
age of 14 making 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.
What might someone be surprised to learn
about your company?
As our company continued to grow over the past 27
years, so has our diverse team of professionals and their
areas of expertise. While we are known within CAI as
