Interview

Noel Vasquez

How was your experience working with KBDG as an intern?
- Great! It was full of hands on experiences in the field and in the office. I had the opportunity to participate in the preconstruction process of a few projects and had the opportunity to work on the job site
Is there anything new or interesting that you’ve learned during your internship?
- As it was my second-year internship, I had the opportunity to learn the basics of Revit (BIM software) this year, and master Procore (construction management software). Also, I learned how to negotiate with subcontractors.
How would you describe working at the New Jersey office?
- I’d describe it as a family environment that’s committed to respect and teamwork.

How was your experience working with KBDG as an intern?

- Working with KBDG has been an awesome experience because I get to learn from this amazing team! It’s important to have a way to make yourself stand out from other college graduates and this internship is a huge help.

Is there anything new or interesting that you’ve learned during your internship?

- One of the most interesting topics I learned while interning this summer is 5D modeling and how KBDG plans to incorporate it in upcoming projects.

The Atlanta office is a very welcoming environment! Everyone here is very helpful with teaching and assisting anyway they can to help you succeed.

Interview

Juan Badillo

How was your experience working with KBDG as an intern?

My internship with KBDG was phenomenal. Thanks to my experience at KBDG, I was able to secure a job with a subcontractor.

Is there anything new or interesting that you’ve learned during your internship?

I enjoyed learning about takeoffs and bids during the preconstruction phase.

How would you describe working at the Atlanta office?

My colleagues at KBDG were some of the best I’ve ever worked with.

Interview

Trenten Mcpherson

How was your experience working with KBDG as an intern?

My experiences with KBD were great. I received all the help I needed and was not expected to do anything that was not necessary or unobtainable. I would say having an internship has made my resume look more professional as before the only thing that I could document on my resume were part-time jobs, and Kajima is more than that.

Is there anything new or interesting that you’ve learned during your internship?

What I learned at Kajima was that there is always something you can improve on. I thought I knew all there was to know in the office setting. Brandon Neermann acted as a mentor and taught me that it was always important to walk into the bosses’ office with a notebook and writing utensil.

How would you describe working at the Atlanta office?

The words I would use to describe my Atlanta office colleagues would be professional, patient, impressionable, and they understand the importance of family first.

Interview

Yoshinori Nomura

How was your experience working with KBDG as an intern?
- Working with KBDG has been an immersive experience. Everyone was open to sharing their knowledge about the business.
Is there anything new or interesting that you’ve learned during your internship?
- Everything done was a new experience, from understanding the facets of pre-construction to the first-hand experience of managing the job site, we learned an extensive amount. Understanding everyone’s decision making was the most interesting part of this internship.
How would you describe the New Jersey office, your colleagues, and working here?
- The office environment is kind, caring and open. Thank you for receiving us with such open arms.
