OVERVIEW: For more than forty years, Mr. Harper has been involved in all phases of architectural design and
construction involving schools, military dining facilities and aircraft hangars, office buildings, prisons, manufacturing
facilities, medical facilities, retirement facilities, warehouses, sports facilities, apartments, hotels, and art museums.
For six years he was the construction management consultant for a large school district and that experience allowed
a unique understanding of the owner’s viewpoint. Five years of his experience were as an officer in a structural
engineering firm where he was responsible for construction detailing. Three years were with a manufacturer of
construction repair, waterproofing, and commercial flooring products with primary responsibility for the development
of specifications and coordinating specifications with architects, engineers, and owners.

Approximately twenty seven years of Mr. Harper’s architectural experience has been specifically associated with the
roofing, waterproofing, and commercial flooring industry, primarily in the field of restoration. He has participated in
the destructive investigation and water testing of facilities with major leak problems to ascertain the problem source,
developing the design and specifications to remedy the problems, and performing construction contract
administration. He has developed an excellent expertise in the repair and replacement of deteriorated window
systems, and in the restoration of architectural stone for interior and exterior walls; interior floors; and exterior
walking, plaza, and landscaping areas. This type of experience has included the exterior restoration of historic
structures, and the restoration of prestigious art museums. Projects have been performed in at least twenty five of
the United States as well as at least four foreign countries. His experience extends to assisting attorneys with legal
cases and is very experienced with depositions and testimony in court.

Mr. Harper is a licensed architect with primary registration in Texas, is certified by the National Council of
Architectural Registration Boards, and is a member of the American Institute of Architects. Within the Construction
Specification Institute (CSI), he is a Certified Construction Specifier. Within the International Institute of Building
Enclosure Consultants, he is a Registered Waterproofing Consultant. He has served on national committees for CSI
and SWR Institute. Mr. Harper often serves as a speaker at the national meetings for professional organizations.
