To Whom It May Concern:

With more than 20 years of experience driving the construction of multi-million dollar commercial and residential projects, I have developed a solid reputation in the New York area for consistent on-time, on-budget delivery of diverse projects. My resume is attached in consideration of opportunities as a Construction Manager or Owner’s Representative—a role where I can apply direct, decisive leadership acumen to preserving a company’s financial investments in its construction or renovation projects.

Since 2004 I have worked with renowned companies Michilli Construction + Consulting, Cava Construction, and GTL Construction as a Construction Superintendent and Project Manager. Over many years on the front lines of projects ranging from low-rise single or several-story properties to high-rise steel superstructures, I have honed my expertise by directing every facet of the construction process, incorporating an integrated and managed approach to planning, design, and construction of the built environment.

One of my strongest attributes in this role is my ability to both see and speak from both sides of the table, understanding and addressing the needs and concerns of an owner as well as those perspectives and insights stemming from years of working on and managing the construction site. I can quickly understand the problems and challenges clients face, and have proven extremely effective at conveying those and their urgency to construction teams in order to deliver the desired results.

Perhaps best known as a savvy problem solver, I often have placed my name and reputation on the line in order to prevent costly and potentially deadly mistakes, including foundation deficiencies, building code violations, and survey inaccuracies. Finding feasible, cost-effective, and timely resolutions to these issues has required innovation and creativity, an unquestionable knowledge of construction, and the talent for getting stakeholders to the table to come to mutual agreement about the necessary course of action.

As you examine your requirements for strong leadership in construction management and/or owner representation, it is my sincere hope that my experience, qualifications, and track record of undeniable success assure you of my ability to exceed your expectations and deliver immediate value. If you would like to schedule a time to explore whether there is mutual fit, please contact me at your earliest convenience.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Samuel M. Zeoli
