When the federal government needed to update its federal court buildings to comply with the American Disabilities Act, it turned to Jim Garman. As the space and facilities coordinator, Jim was responsible for bringing the court buildings in his district up to code. To say the least, this task was a huge undertaking, for it included renovating and adding to the buildings, some of which were more than 100 years old.
Jim often says the amount of detail involved in this task heavily influenced the meticulous approach he takes to building today. After retiring from the federal government at age 49, the first home Jim built was his own home in Hilton Head. He used what he had learned from his work on the federal buildings to design and construct it.
