PERSONAL PROFILE
An effective construction program and project estimator, preconstruction or construction, with years of practical and successful experience within a wide range of construction industry facets. I am looking to join a team for a long term beneficial relationship and good steady work.
QUALIFICATIONS
I have many years experience in estimating, capital commercial construction and preconstruction program management in Design/Build, Negotiated and Hard Bid scenarios. Industry sectors where I have led complex cost estimating and cost control programs include aviation facilities, education, multifamily and multiple other industries. I provide expert project cost control, cost estimating, and cost analytics. Representative areas of my expertise include pre construction budget development,, asset/condition assessment, forensic estimating, material/equipment/system analysis, value engineering, procurement as well as estimates through document development for construction projects. My core strengths include all sixteen divisions. My experience along with a very good handle on Excel has allowed me to develop many time saving tools. I am use to being responsible for estimating / pre construction on multiple construction projects at one time. I have participated in, assembled and led bid teams, developed bid strategies and approaches, distributed workload and managed subcontractor networking.
As a team member, I believe strongly in coordination and communication with all company departments and outside stake holders from the beginning of a project to the end with well organized and detailed cost information. This process is evidenced by written records of clarifications, assumptions, basis for costs, changes and choices.
I have knowledge in all elements of pricing, existing estimate review, project take over, bid results, bid document preparation, quantity take offs, job cost budgets, and procurement efforts. I have held a Florida Certified General Contractor CGC 1506796 and Georgia Soil & Water Conservation Commission Level II Certified Plan Reviewer #000*******. Also I have held a Florida Certified Building Contractor License and a New Mexico GB98 Certified General Contractor.
