MANAGEMENT TEAM AND OPERATIONS
Management Team
The Point Structures is managed by Randal Jay Ehm. Mr. Ehm is supported by TPS’s CFO K. Michael Winter, and by Marketing Consultant Kathy Kingery. General Operations will be managed by Philip Stein, with shift supervisors, departmental managers and installation crew Team Leaders and Crew Members being added as conditions warrant and subject to stringent qualifications review.
Board of Directors
The Board of Directors is comprised of Randal Jay Ehm CEO, K. Michael Winter CFO and Grace Mendoza-Ehm, Secretary. Investors in The Point Structures may also be elected to the Board on an individual basis. The Board has consulted fiberglass and construction industry executives, and anticipates that individuals with high levels of relevant experience will be elected to the Board as the program grows.

The Concept and the Product
The Point Structures (TPS) provides turnkey design-build services to the hospitality, educational and housing industries on the global market. Our Founder has designed the world’s first and only modern, modular fiberglass tipi using composite materials. This unique product will be marketed worldwide. Our TP line of products can be used for housing, resorts, schools, offices, retail shops and restaurants. Our structures can be fabricated in four weeks, shipped to jobsites anywhere in the world and installed in two to six weeks by six workers. Using our modular approach to construction, we deliver structures of up to three stories from eight to ten months faster and approximately 8% less expensively than through traditional, site-built methodologies. The modular components are manufactured in a factory setting while site improvements and foundations are being built onsite.
Our original TP product line is based upon the American Indian tipi archetype. We have expanded our product line with the new The Point Panels to facilitate construction of rectilinear buildings as well.
TPS involves President / CEO Randal Jay Ehm’s architectural firm as Architect for all projects requiring jurisdictional approval and permitting. Our current manufacturer is The Aria Group of Irvine, California. Our installation crews are trained specifically on our product line. They will travel to each jobsite and will remain onsite until installation of the composite shell is complete. Our Project Manager will oversee completion of any onsite framing, electrical, mechanical, plumbing and finish work. The duration of this activity depends completely on the ultimate floor plan to be built within the shell, but is not expected to take longer than eight weeks. The repeat involvement of our Project Managers and their crews provides a level of continuity that no other modular company provides, and one that no other builder provides on an international basis.
The first TP prototype is nearing completion in Porcupine, South Dakota. The second prototype will be manufactured as funding comes available. This unit will be used as a traveling exhibit and ultimately as a sales office, with property in the Black Hills near Mt. Rushmore targeted for our first sales office location.
Our Mission
TPS’s mission is to establish itself as the world’s only provider of composite, modular structures for residential, educational and commercial use. We intend to serve private individuals, corporations, school districts, tribal agencies, and non-profits. We are also targeting FEMA to offer our product line as emergency and replacement housing for storm and flood victims, and to market HUD to offer our product as low-cost, energy-efficient and relocatable housing. We fully expect to achieve a high degree of profitability and success by offering significant savings in time and money, long life-cycle, low long-term energy costs and far less time required of our clients' in ther development of their projects.
TPS intends to participate in development of our own modular factories as demand for our products increases. In that regard, it is our initial and primary objective to develop these factories as Economic Development projects for Indian tribes that could benefit from job and income creation on their reservations, although we may develop factories in any locale as the situation warrants. We are interested in establishing factories internationally as demand grows in foreign countries.
The Point Structures is being developed to meet the needs of our clients, to help meet the economic needs of disadvantaged peoples and to capture a currently untapped global market.

Randal Jay Ehm, AIA, CDS, IACC, NCARB
President / CEO
Randal Jay Ehm founded his architectural practice in 1987, building the firm upon his commitment to design excellence, professionalism and client service. His firm has served as architect on over 900 projects to date, and has enjoyed many challenging design commissions on a wide variety of project types.
Ehm Architecture is participating in diverse projects throughout the United States. The firm is experienced in municipal special events centers, conference centers, hotels, restaurants, commercial offices, public and private school facilities, multi-family housing, transit-oriented developments, custom residential and municipal projects. We are also LEED-accredited and are actively involved in Sustainable Design and Green Building concepts on a number of projects across the country.
Mr. Ehm became a Certified Development Strategist in 2004 while working to personally develop a $34 million Marriott Resort Hotel in Washington State. Recent clients include Motel 6 and Red Roof Inns through Accor Economy Lodging, San Diego Unified School District, City of Industry, City of Port Angeles and Family Health Centers of San Diego. The firm is also working with four upstart restaurant companies – Samurai Sam’s Teriyaki Grilles, Inka Grill, Bangkok BBQ and Terrific Pacific Breweries – on prototype design and corporate imaging programs, and has served Jack in the Box in that capacity and as architect on their new construction projects nationwide.
Randal has been heavily involved in the American Institute of Architects since 1986. Most recently serving as Chairman of the San Diego Young Architects Forum, which he founded in 1990. He has served on the Board of Directors at both the state and local levels. The press has lauded his work with the community through service and donated design services on charitable projects. Randal has served on numerous state and local committees with an emphasis on professional practice. Since 1983, he has been nominated five times for AIA's Young Architect Citation, for his years of outstanding and dedicated professional service, and was appointed to the National Young Architects Forum Advisory Group in 1994. Ehm recently served a one-year term as a Board Member of the Mission Hills Association and a two-year term as Secretary-Treasurer of the Academy of Architecture of Beverly Hills. His public involvement has been of tremendous benefit to his firm, increasing his skills in all areas of architectural practice.
Ehm is a strong advocate of quality design. He has researched and designed several earth-integrated structures and strives to achieve building design in harmony with its environment in forested and coastal areas. Ehm’s sculptural design philosophy has been discovered by Sony-Tristar, who identified his “Tsunami PB” project as a likely site for an upcoming motion picture. He spoke before Friends of San Diego Architecture in 1994 on “Studies in an Organic Architecture,” and again in 1998 on “Sculptural Response to Building and Design.” He is influenced by his own concept of architecture as sculptural artform, yet maintains balance with a portfolio rich in traditional design.

K. Michael Winter
Chief Financial Officer, First Vice President – The Point Structures
Mike joined TPS in 2000 after having worked for nine years as a Project Manager in the Facilities Development Department at San Diego City Schools. Mike's new perspective, as seen through the eyes of the school district, lends an understanding to the firm that few architects have--that of the Owner. This experience is invaluable to our project team, as is his understanding of district policies and regulations. Educated at the Phoenix Institute of Technology, Mike graduated in 1985 with honors. He obtained experience in the operation of Computer-Aided Drafting systems while working in the offices of Phoenix architects, and has continued to develop his skills in CAD. After working in Arizona for four years on single-family and multi-family construction projects, Mike decided to expand his horizons by relocating to San Diego.
Mike's first job in the San Diego area lasted for twelve months, where he worked a lead designer for a kitchen and bath design studio. When a slowdown in work forced the firm to lay him off, Mike was hired by Randal Ehm at his former firm, Artek San Diego. While Mike began his employment as a Senior Draftsman, his outstanding dedication and performance led to a series of promotions and salary increases. Firm Principal Ehm recognized Mike as a key employee, and within twelve months he had been promoted to Director of Production. His responsibilities included consultant coordination and project management on hotels, office buildings, multi-family housing projects, and custom homes. He was also responsible for scheduling and supervising the seven-member production team in preparation of construction documents.
While working for Randal at Artek, Mike saw first-hand the dedication that Ehm exhibited in his service to the profession of architecture through the American Institute of Architects (AIA). With some encouragement, Mike decided to participate actively in the organization as a means of career development. Two years after Randal had served as an Officer on the AIA/California Council Board of Directors, Mike was elected to the same position of Associate Director South, having responsibility for intern members throughout Southern California.
Due to a severe downturn in the national economy in 1990, Ehm was forced to let Mike go in a firm-wide layoff. However, through contacts developed at Artek, Mike was made aware of a Drafting Technician 2 position, which had opened in the Office of the Schools Architect at San Diego City Schools. Mike interviewed for the position along with some thirty other candidates, and was selected after brief deliberation by the selection committee. Within the first three years of Mike's service for the District, he was promoted to Project Manager and became a likely candidate for Project Architect when he became a licensed architect. Mike's unparalleled performance and dedication were again recognized on a regular basis, and he received a Special Commendation from the Office of the Superintendent for his design of the School-Age Parenting and Infant-Development Program. Mike was also elected as Chief Job Steward for the California School Employees Association, Chapter 788.
In November of 1998, the voters of San Diego, approved the second largest bond measure, of that time, in the amount of $1.51 billion dollars. This bond measure, known as Proposition MM, allows for the construction of thirteen (13) new schools and modernization / new construction at one hundred eighty (180) various school sites. Mike was promoted to Senior Project Manager and was transferred to the Proposition MM Implementation Department. Along with the day to day program / project management responsibilities and leading the other seventeen (17) project management staff members, he has been responsible for the development and implementation of the following:
Off-Inventory Portables Program and the 1999 Summer Classroom Moves Project ($30 million dollar budget), which accounted for over two hundred fifty (250) new classrooms to be constructed / fabricated and delivered / installed at over one hundred (100) various school sites over the summer months and ready for school opening in the fall.
Single-Session Kindergarten Program ($49 million dollar budget), which required the district to provide twice as many kindergarten classrooms than the prior school year. The majority of these classrooms were provided by the use of modular construction and district portable classroom structures.
Ellen Browning Scripps Elementary School ($9.6 million dollar budget), which houses approximately 500 students and shares joint-use facilities with the City of San Diego. This project was constructed within five (5) months and realized a $1 million dollar under-run due to the use of modular construction.
Scripps Ranch Middle School ($60 million dollar budget), which will house approximately 1,800 students. This project will utilize two story classroom buildings by the use of modular construction to assist with the time and budget constraints.
Currently, Mike is developing a 2,000 square foot modular constructed prototype elementary school library building, which will be utilized for modernization projects time savings and Proposition MM program cost savings.
