CAD Developer, Dave Olmsted is taking Centurion to new heights with drone photography! After rigorous amounts of training and studying he recently obtained his FAA Remote Pilot Certificate which allows him to venture out into aerial photography. Aerial photography is a new extension of his existing passion for photography and dark room techniques, photoshop, and graphic arts. He has also joined the Academy of Model Aviation (AMA) to further hone his skills as pilot, in his spare time.

Drone photography within the construction industry provides owners and stakeholders a different perspective of inspection and progress on their jobsites. The data provided from these new views allows us to more effectively problem solve and provide innovative solutions to reduce costs and risks while increasing productivity and workflow to stay on and ahead of schedule.

We love to go above & beyond at Centurion! We are grateful for Dave and the drones who can take us to the next level.

Adding on… minus the head aches! As an industrial food process partner we understand the worries in the equation of building on to an existing structure. Being mindful of current operations and activities is a top priority. Thoughtful phasing and coordination zeros out these daily concerns.

Wolfgang Confectioners has been able to maintain business as usual while we forge ahead with this 5,000 sf packaging addition to their processing facility!

Centurion is pleased to introduce the newest member of our team, Christine Johnson, fulfilling the role of administrative assistant.

Christine loves living and learning creatively. Her experience in education, non-profit administration, retail, and business development within the interior design industry has equipped her with a variety of skills and tools to problem solve through any challenge. She has directed and managed a wide range of projects and understands the importance of coordinating and completing the smaller tasks with excellence to accomplish a larger goal. She is passionate about design across all mediums and its ability to communicate a message and connect people. She enjoys working on a team and the collaborative process.

An integral and unique part of Centurion’s preconstruction process is the utilization of our in-house designer and CAD developer, Dave Olmsted, to develop 3D renderings of projects that are still in preliminary design.  This is done mainly to show clients what the finished product will look like.

The 3D rendering is an important step in our preconstruction process that allows us to present different design options and finishes before construction, perform MEP coordination studies, create presentations and media that display the proposed construction or renovation, and make quick alterations to floor plans for approval before passing along to the architect.  We find it’s more timely and affordable to rework the design and create drafts in this way.

Using powerful tools like Autocad, Revit and Enscape, Dave creates the beautiful renderings that allow us to accomplish all this and more.  About his process, Dave says, “The best thing I have found to do when in the company of a client is to LISTEN…and then do a boat load of research starting with ‘best practices when…’ and that’s it!”

As part of Centurion’s ongoing efforts to continually develop and challenge our employees, we offer two enrollment periods a year in which our employees can choose to participate in a program to continue their education.  We have partnered with ABC Keystone, Dale Carnegie & Associates and OSHA outreach trainers, among others, to afford our employees opportunities to grow and refine their skillsets.

Since last year, we have seen 10 of our jobsite superintendents receive ICRA certification with 4 superintendents also receiving ASHE credentials!  On the office side of our operations, two members of our staff have earned additional certificates through Dale Carnegie Learning, namely the Leadership Training for Managers and Dealing with Stress and Worry Certificate Paths.

These accomplishments are a testament to the character and drive of our staff and we here at Centurion are incredibly proud of our team for their commitment to growth and enthusiasm for furthering their education.
