Jaime Hutton is an experienced construction project manager with a LEED AP BD+C certification. Her interest and exposure to construction and building started at an early age where she witnessed and worked with her father who flipped houses and worked as a home appraiser. In 2008, Jaime discovered Natural Building, which perfectly tied her interest in construction to her core belief that a more sustainable lifestyle is paramount. She began her career working for local design-build firm Clay Sand Straw, building straw bale and cob residences and small structures. In 2011, Jaime completed a Natural Building Apprenticeship, which included traveling throughout the pacific northwest learning about various building techniques being explored. In 2016, Jaime received a BS in Construction Management from Texas State University. Following graduation, she worked as a commercial Project Manager where she independently managed multi-million dollar projects of large scope. This experience, along with her natural building experience, provided Jaime the unique perspective of understanding both the need for implementation of environmentally-minded sustainability practices and the needs of a general contractor with a budget and timeline. While Jaime prefers the slow pace and hard work of residential natural building, the need for professionals who prioritize environmentally sustainable choices and material selection is extremely important in this day and age, and Jaime feels very lucky to have found a career path that ties her interests and core beliefs together.
