Culcasi, a LEED Accredited Professional (AP), brings a diverse background to Consigli, having most recently served as an owner's representative at Wellesley College, giving him a wide range of perspectives on the construction process and buy-out of projects. He will help teams configure M/E/P systems for clients across multiple markets, and as a LEED AP, he can identify opportunities for greater building efficiency.
