E. Construction Executive, 16 years Everett, MA
During my 16 years with the company, I was charged with increased responsibility to grow the $3 million in annual

Director of Estimating Services
• Implemented procedures to standardize (a) quantity survey format, (b) unit pricing, (c) subcontractor solicitations
and bid tabulations and (d) final bid clarifications.
The procedures led to projects ranging from $150,000 to more that $100 million. Twice my "hit" rate exceed the
company's capacity to manage the work procured.
Project Manager
• With the company's Cincinnati based JV partner, I was the PM for a new $121 million 25-story 1,060,000 sf
office building in the congested Back Bay of Boston. We completed the project in thirty-four (34) months from
ground breaking to 100% of the Class A tenant up fits before the advent of email and construction management
software. Aggressive scheduling, planning & management enabled us to turn a project with an underwater
budget into a profitable project.

• Developed comprehensive conceptual budgets to assist owners with their overall project budgets that we
followed up with timely feedback at critical design milestones to reduce the need for cost cutting "value engineering"
to align the design with the owner's budget.
• Identified bid document ambiguities, design gaps and conflicts to provide subs better directions to secure their most
competitive proposals on bid day and help us arrive at the most competitive bid with pertinent project clarifications
while minimizing our bid risk.
