Background

About Francois Karam

Passionate about architecture, building science, and entrepreneurship, I bring a diverse background spanning design, construction, and business ownership. With a Master's in Architecture from the Boston Architectural College, I started my career in design and later transitioned to the building envelope industry, where I now specialize in high-performance roofing, waterproofing, and façade solutions. In my current role at Garland, I collaborate with architects, contractors, and building owners to develop durable, sustainable solutions for their projects. Beyond my work in building materials, I’ve owned and operated multiple businesses, including restaurants and real estate ventures. I helped build my family’s restaurant in Providence and continue to manage a portfolio of properties, including an Airbnb. I’m always looking to connect, collaborate, and solve challenges in the built environment. Let’s connect and explore how we can work together!
