I have over 25 years of management experience in the design and construction
of projects throughout the Southeastern United States.
My expertise is turn-key from conceptual design through construction and final
owner acceptance. This includes construction management of multiple
commercial projects, new office building construction and renovation, large site
developments, Toll Road mainline and ramp plazas, roadway interchanges, fee
simple townhomes, luxury condominiums, and multi-family residential, in various
sizes and complexity in different phases of design and construction
simultaneously and at times over multiple states.
I have experience in the development of Design/Build Criteria packages,
management of A&E design efforts, conducting Pre-Bid meetings, managing the
CPM and cost loading, negotiating contracts, negotiating schedule of values,
permitting Federal, state, and local, utility & MEP coordination, conducted pre-
design analysis for constructability and biddability, prepared studies and reports,
performed value engineering, research, and systems analysis, and verified that
project close out requirements were met. I also negotiated claims, change
orders, and supplemental agreements.
I have over 18 years consulting experience employed by Multi-Discipline
Engineering Firms and Florida State Government as Project Manager and
Owners Representative for The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) -
Turnpike District and the Orlando Orange County Expressway Authority
(OOCEA). I also have performed project manager duties for multiple National
and International Developers and Constructors. In addition, I have been self-
employed as a General Contractor in Atlanta, Ga. Ultimately, I have a proven
track record of successfully managing and completing a wide range of project
types from their conception thru final owner acceptance with satisfaction by the
client both private and State Government. I specialize in the fast-track completion
of projects on time and under budget with minimal or no supplemental
agreements. (see below)
Intro:
The key to a successful project lies in the production of clear, straight forward
and precisely coordinated contract documents (scope of work, plans,
specifications, and quantities) with minimal or no discrepancies. I have the ability
to see and understand designs 3-dimensionally plus the ability to physically
construct the project which gives me an advantage to identify design deficiencies
and prevent contractor claims and supplemental agreements.
