Rost Architects Interview Series: Derek Wavering from Kurt Fischer Structural Engineers

In January, we had the opportunity to speak with Derek Wavering from KFSE Engineers. The discussion touched on topics such as; what makes a successful custom home project, workflow/responsibilities within a project team, industry advancements, new building technologies, and owning/operating a successful architectural/engineering firm. We discussed the importance of assembling a great project team, and dove into common challenges with custom home projects.

Rost Architects and KFSE have partnered on multiple luxury custom homes throughout the Orange County and LA region. Each of these projects have had their unique obstacles to overcome. Throughout the process the two teams have been able to develop a great working relationship. KFSE has become one of our trusted consultants and are an invaluable member of many project teams that we assemble.
