Mr. Searfoorce has also volunteered his time to organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, ACEC, and routinely speaks at continuing education seminars for design professionals. Mr. Searfoorce is AV-rated by Martindale-Hubbel, and in 2015 he worked closely with ACEC of Colorado to draft and procure passage of House Bill 1197, which limits a designer’s indemnity obligations on public construction projects.  He has contributed as an editor for the Practitioner’s Guide to Colorado Construction Law since 2007.
