Trevor VanConant recently became the only Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) certified Construction Contract Administrator (CCCA) in the state of South Dakota. This area of achievement demonstrates VanConant’s superior knowledge and understanding of the construction process. “Trevor works not only hard, but smart,” said Stacey McMahan, Koch Hazard Architects President. “This recent certification highlights his personal commitment to professional development within the design industry and the work of our firm,” said Stacey McMahan.
