ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Assembled documentation on a $1.5M claim for Bacon Construction Co., which involved multiple change orders on a finished Walpole High School Project. This was after being brought in midway as Project Manager because previous PM was dismissed and Architect repeatedly erred. Only strong follow through and thorough documentation of time delays and supporting photos of unforeseen adverse conditions made collecting this claim possible.

Successfully met mission critical construction deadlines, which in turn permitted this Peabody Properties' Apartment Rehabilitation Project to qualify for $2.8M in State and Federal Tax Credits. Brought in to manage the project midway, by Dellbrook Construction, because it fell significantly behind schedule with only one Supervisor for four different work sites.

Completed the Rising Sun Mills Project on time and on budget, despite being challenged with a massive undisclosed oil spill from three underground oil tanks that held 12,000 gallons each. Earned approval on a significant change order. Earned approval from the Department of Environmental Management after the cleanup. The key was efficient management of all subcontractors and working well with city officials.

Earned approval on a major change order to build an extensive new pier system even when challenged with toxic remediation, a confined workspace, and a substantial undisclosed void underneath sagging floors where a foundation would normally be. Completed chemical remediation successfully, earned official DEM approval, then built new piers, completed an extensive structural renovation, and finally installed new floors, which allowed the project to go forward. All work was still finished ahead of schedule and within budget with no reportable accidents or injuries.

Completed a $45M historic mill conversion in Providence, RI for Struever Bros. Eccles & Rouse, Inc. Resolved numerous issues to finish on time and on budget, which allowed the project to qualify for over $20M in State and Federal Historic Tax Credits.
