Shane A. Persaud is the founder of Building Design Partnership, LLC. Since its inception in 2005 the business model of this firm is structured as a consulting firm that offers design, implementation, construction administration and project management services through collaborations with its consultants. The primary reason for this is to offer our clients the most competitive fees by keeping the firm’s overhead at a minimum while maximizing on the quality of the design content.
Shane has over 25 years of professional experience in the field of architecture and construction, spanning the healthcare, residential, retail and commercial markets.
Shane knew as early as his high school mechanical drafting days that architecture and design was in his future. His education began at NY City College of Technology; his drafting skills and knack for being very technical caught the attention of the Campus Facilities Director and was hired on a part time basis while he attended school there. Winning his first Design Award in his freshman year spurred him on in his studies. After graduating from Pratt Institute in 1995 he spent his early career working for several firms such as Dahn & Krieger Architects & Planners (Hackensack, NJ), Jarmel Kizel Architects & Engineers (Livingston, NJ), and Chapin Architects & Planners (Netcong, NJ). After moving to Atlanta in 2005 with his family, he gained additional experience working for Peacock Partnership (Atlanta, GA), had a short stay at ASD, Inc. and then served as Director of Architecture with JH Ideas Interiors until November 2008.
In 2008 he switched careers and spent several years focusing on Community Engagement in the non-profit space, serving in leadership roles as Youth Development Director, Executive Director for Communities In Schools of Henry County and 4 years as a Regional Director for United Way of Greater Atlanta. He is a co-founder of the Henry County Fuller Center for Housing, Inc. and sits on several non-profit boards.
Shane has experience in Zoning Analysis, Building Code Reviews and is well versed in the use of AutoCAD, Sketch-up, MS Office, Microsoft Project, 3D Software, Publishing & Graphic Design, PR & Marketing. He received his Six Sigma Black Belt Certification from Clayton State University in 2019. He is effective working independently, or as part of a team, and is comfortable interfacing with Clients, Committees, Boards, Code Enforcement Agencies, Consultants and Vendors.
