Knutson Construction names Tom Wood project executive. He will continue to oversee projects and team members, and looks forward to supporting the ongoing success of both the company and its staff.

As part of Knutson’s project management team for the last 11 years, Wood has contributed to dozens of hospitals and health care projects of various sizes and specialties. Most recently, he served as senior project manager on the Mother Baby Center in Minneapolis.

With more than four decades of experience in commercial building design and construction, Wood began his career as a University of Cincinnati architectural student on a summer work-study program with Ellerbe & Co. in Minneapolis. (The based firm later became Ellerbe Beckett and eventually joined with AECOM.)

Transferring his knowledge to construction services, his professional path led to Knutson where his colleagues and clients benefit from his attention to detail in planning, documentation and implementation. Many of the projects on which Wood has worked employ design-build construction methodologies where the architect and general contractor work together as a single entity to provide both design and construction of a project.

Wood actively participates in the Design Build Institute of America (DBIA) and has been a member of the Upper Midwest Region for 10 years. Along with enhancing his own professional development, he enjoys sharing his insights with others. “I am happy that this new position gives me more opportunities to mentor our younger project team members, ensuring that they have the proper procedures, tools and support to get the job done well,” says Wood.

He adds, “Beyond helping with the day-to-day project work, I will continue to pursue new projects that fit the company’s best interests and ongoing growth, and bring more opportunities for Knutson’s staff.”
