Re: Senior Construction Estimator/Project Manager

As a motivated, self-starting, hands-on, college educated Senior Construction Estimator/Project Manager; I have assembled cost estimates and managed diverse unique multi-million-dollar construction projects for over 15 years. As the enclosed resume, will indicate, I am explicitly familiar with the McCormick ESI 8000 computer estimating system, both the DOS and windows version, as well as manual estimating. I have developed a series of computer templates using Microsoft Word and Excel to standardize and simplify estimating and project managing for contractor, for your use.

I have maintained multi-million-dollar computer databases utilizing labor units developed from historical data, labor standards, previous labor estimates and published data. These individual costs were collated and utilized to manage multi-million-dollar construction projects through an assortment of computer generated supporting documents. Some of the supporting documents available are bill of material costing, verification of actual project expenses and accurate cost variance records.

I am confident that my previous experience, background and college degree, as displayed on the enclosed resume and project list, satisfies your requirements for the position. I can travel/relocate and would appreciate the opportunity to discuss with you, how my specific skills and experience will contribute to the benefit and development your company.

Please call me at 619-***-**** to confirm the receipt of this resume and arrange for an interview.

Sincerely,

James Wisda
