ALBERT LAM  Architectural Technologist AIBC, LEED Green Associate | Technologist

Albert Lam’s experience ranges from sustainability to modelling, detailing and hands-on carpentry. Clients, engineers, and contractors appreciate his detailed knowledge of construction methods and his practical approach to resolving on-site issues. Albert is often the first to explore new techniques and incorporate them to achieve the project’s goals. His project experience includes a variety of commercial and residential buildings for private and public sector clients.

Recently, Albert has worked with Scius Advisory to interview, shadow and collaborate with project teams deploying IPD or IPD-like collaborative methods to deliver design-build type projects. Some of the projects he was involved with include a BC Housing-commissioned project exploring IPD and other similar collaborative project delivery methods and a 4-storey office with VDC and off-site construction methods. He is currently working with Naikoon Contracting on a BC Housing-funded project to develop IPD-like practices for VDC targeting high-end passive house homes in Vancouver.

Passionate about global stewardship, Albert has presented several times on sustainability, including an invitation from the Union Internationale Des Architectes (UIA). He is studying in the UBC MBA program and plans to use his gained knowledge to promote sustainable prosperity within the building industry.
