Amanda Sawyer, Project Executive, PMCM Group, CHA Consulting, Inc.
Amanda Sawyer
Amanda Sawyer, AIA, LEED Green Associate, is no stranger to a construction site. From schools and public safety buildings to libraries and historic structures, Amanda gets involved from the start and stays until the project is successfully completed.
As a project executive for CHA Consulting’s PMCM Group, Amanda is responsible for delivering construction projects on time, within budget, and in strict accordance with established specifications. Her portfolio spans two decades from small to large-scale commercial properties, highlighted by her specialized expertise in public safety and educational spaces. Amanda is extremely well-versed in building/design codes and permit acquisition processes. For the historic and unique Martha’s Vineyard Camp Meeting Association Tabernacle Restoration, Amanda navigated traditional approvals as well as the State Plumbing Appeals Board and Automatic Sprinkler Appeals Board.
Through her work, she has developed a comprehensive understanding of current green building principles and sustainable practices. Her commitment to sustainability drives many of her projects. As an example, she managed the renovation of the K-8 Lincoln School to meet Net Zero class B standards of sustainability and earn the title of the most sustainable school in Massachusetts. This renovation was designed to generate as much electricity as it consumes, and is the first in the Commonwealth to achieve this level of sustainability in a public school renovation project.
Amanda believes a commitment to sustainability is essential to the built environment. “When we thoughtfully choose and use resources and have a willingness to embrace sustainability and green building solutions, we serve our children, our communities and our planet.”
