susan benz
Susan Benz, AIA, is known for her leadership in project management for significant construction projects including the Beach Museum of Art at Kansas State University, Fleck Hall at St. Edward’s University and ZACH Theatre Center. Her ability to communicate and coordinate the design process and her high priority on cost control has earned respect and confidence from clients, consultants and contractors. In addition to her twenty-four years of experience in the construction industry, Susan’s leadership extends to the community through her participation in AIA Austin, the UT School of Architecture Advisory Council and the East Cesar Chavez Neighborhood Planning Team.
"[Benz Resource Group] is thorough and offers a tremendous opportunity for any group seeking to build a building, but particularly for a non-profit whose staff may be stretched beyond capacity just fulfilling the core mission of the organization, let alone programming, designing, permitting, building, and occupying a new facility... Perhaps Susan's best quality is her optimism. She has never met a problem that she couldn't overcome somehow. She employs that optimism on behalf of her clients to keep the focus on solutions rather than obstacles; this fundamental approach is a difference maker and essential in getting to the finish line." Tom Terkel, Board Member, ZACH Theatre Center
