APCOI Journal
The Architectural Practice Community of Interest publishes a Journal twice a year. Once prior to JETC and once prior to SBC. The purpose of the Journal is to provide a forum to share APCOI events, mentoring and growth opportunities for architects, technical content focused on solutions for federal facilities, and inspiration for the members of SAME and beyond. We hope you enjoy the journal and encourage you to submit content by contacting the editor.
The mission of the Architectural Practice Committee is to promote architectural practice within SAME, broaden the organization’s exposure in the architectural community, increase the role of architecture within military/federal facilities, and recruit more architects, along with expanding networking and mentoring opportunities.

Mission to Build: Opportunities and Challenges of Veterans in Construction
In February 2024, the $1.2 trillion U.S. construction industry (non-residential) had 456,000 unfilled positions, the highest number in the last 20 years. With foundational and unique skills honed through military service, Veterans could excel in the wide variety of available roles. -

Behind the Bid: How Contractors Make Go/No-Go Decisions and What Makes a Project Worth Pursuing
Have you ever wondered why a seemingly well-planned federal construction project draws limited bids—or none at all? From the contractor’s perspective, the decision to pursue a project involves a complex analysis of cost, risk, competition, and opportunity.
I love to serve the Society with my fellow SAME architects for such a good cause and along the way develop a strong bond both professionally and personally with these people. I can truly call them my friends.
