About Burr Boutwell.
Burr’s passion for building started at a very young age observing his father, Burr Boutwell Sr., who was a prominent Architect in Portland, Oregon. Burr decided to follow his fathers footsteps and study Architecture at Washington State University. Two years later, followed by the sudden death of his Father, Burr left WSU. Despite requests from the Dean of the school of Architecture to continue in the Architecture program, Burr’s sense of loyalty drove him to be closer to home and his family, therefore enrolling in the construction engineering management program at Oregon State University.
Graduating with honors from OSU, Burr immediately started his career in commercial construction working as a civil estimator with Hoffman Construction in Portland, Oregon.
