The job that I am seeking is one which can utilize my skills and experience and which offers a challenge to complete due to time restraints, financial or labor issues and one in which I can mentor the next generation of management and which involves communication at all levels, and representation of the employer to the highest standards. My success to date has been by team building and positive leadership, irrespective of the challenges we have been faced with. Irrespective of the market economy in 21 years all the projects that I have been responsible for have been completed on time and within /under budget, (due to team commitment). My experience in Development and Construction ensures that the construction work is very economic since issues are resolved in the design. However if the job is for a Construction Co. if acceptable I can resolve potential issues with the Developer at an early stage.

It was my experience which enabled BC to accept 6 storey wood frame, which I successfully completed the complete redesign, preconstruction, construction and warranty to the first 3 buildings in BC (saving approx. $4.9M from the original proposal.) Michael L Cooper
