PREMIER GROWS ITS ENGINEERING AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT TEAMS AS THE FIRM’S HOSPITALITY, MULTIFAMILY, AND STUDENT HOUSING PORTFOLIOS EXPAND

The additional expertise cements Premier’s standing as an industry leader in new construction and large-scale renovation for various types of projects

DALLAS — Premier, an end-to-end architecture, design, procurement, and project management firm, has expanded its engineering team by hiring Ovi Meret and Richard Strock, and its project management department by hiring Sean Segerblom. As the firm earns more clients and expands its scope throughout the hospitality, multifamily, and student housing industries, Meret and Strock will allow Premier to maintain its commitment to providing first-rate and comprehensive services by managing budgets, providing technical expertise, and liaising with vendors and clients. On the project management team, Segerblom will spearhead process change management, perform analysis and reporting on capital expenditure spending, and directly interface with fixed asset accounting and hotel operations departments.

“Whether it’s constructing a new multifamily development or renovating a hotel to meet the demands of the modern traveler, providing top-tier engineering and project management services are the foundations of our industry,” said Johannes Michalsky, Premier’s Senior Vice President of Project Management and Corporate Engineering. “By welcoming Ovi, Richard and Sean to our already robust firm, Premier is ensuring we can continue to reliably provide end-to-end services as our portfolio expands, especially at a time when supply chain disruptions and consumer behaviors are changing.”
