Graham works across a wide spectrum of RDH’s core practice areas and is directly involved with new buildings projects, existing buildings investigation work, research and product development related to building materials and building enclosures across the world.

He regularly works with industry organizations, building product manufacturers and other clients on product research and development, performance monitoring, forensic investigations, and field testing. He also works closely with architects, developers and manufacturers to support the design of high-performance building enclosures and façade systems. Graham is directly involved with the majority of RDH’s mass timber and high-rise wood building projects and instrumental in leading industry research, risk management, and façade development for these new wood buildings. Graham also oversees many of RDH’s modular building projects and works closely with several modular building manufacturers on worldwide projects including building enclosure research and development as well as factory and field QA/QC improvement programs.

Graham is an industry leader in measuring, evaluating, and modeling of the thermal and hygrothermal performance of building enclosure systems. His master’s degree research and thesis focused on the in-service performance of rainscreen wall assemblies in the Pacific Northwest, and the research has resulted in several publications and practical recommendations for the construction industry.

He is a leader in knowledge sharing and is regularly invited to present at conferences and speaking opportunities around North America on a range of building science topics. He also contributes to the education of the industry through the development and delivery of best practice guidelines and bulletins.

Originally from Vancouver Island, Graham returned to Victoria after working out of the Vancouver office for over a decade.

Chris’s technical understanding of building science combined with his project management skills make him an important resource for any enclosure renewal project.

Throughout each project phase, Chris focuses on ensuring that design and construction are implemented to meet the client’s expectations.
With over 10 years of experience, Chris coordinates all phases of a project, working from initial client meetings to project close-out, using traditional general contractor or construction management implementation methods.

Although based in Victoria, Chris has developed a diverse portfolio of projects throughout Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland of British Columbia.

Christy provides leadership and guidance as the Vancouver Island Regional Manager. She oversees staff in both the Victoria and Courtenay offices, and has contributed to projects all over North America.

Her role as a Senior Project Engineer has her exploring and implementing energy- and water-efficient mechanical systems as well as emphasizing the importance of sustainable buildings. She has completed analyses for a range of energy and water conservation projects and researched innovative system design strategies.

In addition to a broad understanding of strategies to improve a building’s performance, Christy brings strong project management and clear communication to her client relationships. She particularly enjoys helping her clients fully understand the financial, functional, and environmental compromises of a range of design strategies, enabling them to make informed choices.

She has conducted numerous research projects for both government and industry associations, including Cost-Benefit Analysis of Super-Efficient New Buildings, a costing study for BC Hydro.

Stephen is the Maintenance and Planning lead in our Victoria office. His role as a Project Manager primarily involves building enclosure investigation and assessment as well as providing technical assistance for the design and construction methods for Existing Buildings projects.

Stephen organizes building enclosure investigations, assessments, and technical reviews of building enclosure renewal. He works to ensure that materials and design specifications are correctly implemented during construction. He also coordinates performance testing of many building enclosure components and assemblies, including roofs, balconies, and windows.

Stephen first worked at RDH during the summer of 2005 while still a student, following the completion of his Diploma of Architectural & Building Engineering Technology he rejoined the company in 2006.
