​As Director of Quality at E.W. Howell since 2016, Charles brings over 40 years of experience as a practicing Architect to the role.
During the course of his career he has designed, managed, and overseen a diverse portfolio of high-end design projects for major companies such as Hewlett Packard, Pitney Bowes, AT&T, Schools/Universities, Banks, Medical, Facilities, Industrial, Residential, etc. Based on his experience, Charles understands the need for and importance of Quality in Construction.
Since accepting the role of Quality Director at Howell, Charles has been instrumental in creating, implementing and overseeing the following Quality Initiatives:
  1. Howells Corporate Quality Control Program
  2. Project Specific Quality Control Programs for all projects
  3. Zero Punch List Program
  4. Lessons Learned Program
  5. Subcontractor Prequalification Program
  6. ISO 9001: 2015 Certification Program (Howell was certified in December of 2021)
Charles has spent the better part of his career seeking to integrate the knowledge from builder’s and craftsman’s into the Architectural design and construction document process. This approach has proven to yield projects that are more often completed on time, on budget with less rework and less functional issues due to this collaborative and proactive approach. In addition, Charles brings an Architects and owners perspective to G.C./C.M. for Quality and the Quality of building.
