Michael Dace
Career Highlights:
• Over 35 years of Sr. Superintendent/Supt./PM experience
• Over 45 years in the Construction Industry, Owner, Project Supt., (PS), Project Manager,
(PM) carpenter, layout engineer & equipment operator.
• Projects as large as $220M, $150M, $80M, $30M to as small as $10,000
• Specializing in the most challenging projects, live & unique renovations of occupied medical, large industrial, 5 to 9 story residential, process plants, road work, land development & bridge renovation.
• Self-performing work includes concrete to cabinets & selective demo.
• Safety is the most important item on every project, 98% of my projects were accident free this includes “0” accidents to owner’s employees. I learned this attitude in 1975 when I started in construction with a wheel barrel and a shovel, working for family.
• Client and project relationships is another top priority for me on every project, I learned that in 1975 too. I have carried that attitude my entire career. Repeat business with clients and subcontractors makes for positive project development to the project close out.
• Project estimating, project buy outs, project permitting, and value engineering are additional construction tasks that I am extremely comfortable with.
• P/L report on 90% + of my projects exceeded expected profits, 90% + self-preform projects met or exceeded expected profits. Most projects exceed profits due to closing project ahead of schedule. Get the TCO and final certificate of occupancy ASAP, with safety #1 and quality of workmanship #2 priorities list! BTW 1 + 2 = speed of project completion
