Bakulesh Patel, PE LEED AP

Baku Patel holds a masters degree from Georgia Tech with nearly 20 years experience as a structural engineer.  Baku adds a strong understanding of the practical side of design and construction to the technical skills and experience of a seasoned engineer, and he has a reputation for particular expertise with renovation of older buildings.  His extensive portfolio includes three recent noteworthy projects – Battle House in Mobile, Alabama which was recently recognized by Building Design and Construction Magazine with one of just three 2007 National Platinum Awards for renovations (PEC also won one of the other two); Sweetwater Creek State Park Visitor's Center, the only LEED Platinum building in Georgia; and BAPS Swaminarayan, a stunning Hindu Temple in Lilburn, Georgia designed to stand for 1000 years.  On top of that, almost everyone thinks Baku is a really good guy.
