Ted DuArte

Associate Principal

WZMH ARCHITECTS

With nearly 30 years of experience in architecture, construction, and contract administration, I lead with clarity, integrity, and collaboration. My passion lies in client relations, construction communication, and team leadership, ensuring every project meets its goals in quality, cost, and schedule.
I’ve guided large-scale, complex projects across Ontario, New York City, and Las Vegas—partnering with global design leaders such as Studio Daniel Libeskind, SOM, Safdie Architects, Pelli Clarke Pelli, Maki and Associates, Gensler, Rockwell Group, and WZMH Architects.
As Associate Principal at WZMH, I oversee contract administration strategies, coordinate multi-disciplinary consultant teams, and mentor emerging professionals. My leadership approach emphasizes fairness, proactive communication, and problem-solving that delivers measurable cost savings and strengthens client confidence.
Beyond practice, I contribute to the advancement of the profession through active involvement with the RAIC and OAA, helping shape national standards, fee frameworks, and contract administration best practices.
I focus on building on my proven record in client partnership, project delivery excellence, and leadership development—ensuring every project succeeds through communication, collaboration, and purpose-driven execution.
