Objective:

Pre-construction estimator, project manager or construction sales career continuum. Summary:

(1.) Currently, I have ceased working as a licensed professional builder in South Carolina and have relocated to Georgia.

(2.) During my career as estimator, I would prepare pre-construction conceptual and detailed component estimates within all CSI division types for prime and sub-contractors and material sales managers. The projects I have estimated are industrial manufacturing, healthcare, private and public schools and college / university institutions, corporate offices, state and federal government municipality buildings, prisons, private offices, multi-use retail having integrated, single-family residential, also high-in private residential homes. (3.) Prior to a construction career, my college training was in studio art which led me to work as a designer and artist for architects crafting scaled presentation drawings, 3-D models, and paintings. In addition, I prepared cost projections, contract working drawings, and specification documents.

Experience:

Construction Panagakis Construction-Residential June 2017-Present Professional Builder: As commissioned by the state of South Carolina to practice as licensed builder, I am authorized to perform all aspects of residential and light commercial construction under chapter 59 inclusive to building types 3 - 5. I am further licensed to practice HVAC, electrical and plumbing mechanical systems. The projects that I have constructed are mostly existing build-out re-developmental properties and ground-up new build custom homes. Panagakis Consulting, LLC . September 2001- June 2017 Estimator: While preparing estimates for construction companies and material suppliers throughout South Carolina and Georgia, I worked as a private contractor. My efforts were to provide estimating services so that I would supplement my clients’ departmental staff by increasing their bidding capacity and overall sales volume, substantiate any in-house estimating errors, generate post bid value engineering cost modifications, and establish project scheduling. I also provided expert witness services in dispute matters. Bibler Masonry, Inc . August 1997-September 2001

Chief Estimator: My work at this unit masonry company was to direct a staff of estimators and fulfill a projected number of annual sales. Through our collective efforts we generated $30 million dollars in sales in 2001. The company grew from constructing $200 - $500 - thousand-dollar single value contracts to having the bonding capacity to engage in larger projects while competing with larger more established masonry contractors. We ended 2001 consistently contracting $1-5 million-dollar single valued projects. These were private, commercial, industrial, and governmental contracted projects being mostly hard bid with near 20 percent total being negotiated projects. Doxa Inc . June 1991- July 1997

Managing Partner: This construction company was a unit tile and cut stone entity that mostly hard bid private, commercial, industrial, and institutional projects. It generated approximately $1.3 million dollars in annual sales. Page2.

Brick Institute of America, Southeast Division July 1987-June 1991 Lobbyist / Consultant: While representing eight South Carolina brick manufacturers, I promoted appropriate masonry design theory by training architects, engineers, and masonry contractors in the correct BIA engineered technological and methodological protocol. As I formed these relationships, I was able to educate professionals in the proper way of utilizing brick. I also spoke at conferences and emporiums instructing large groups of industry professionals on new masonry technology, products, and specifications. This education campaign strategy gave designers confidence to begin to specify brick once again. While other materials dominated market share, my plan was to inform those in the masonry business by presenting the knowledge of quantified engineered means and methods in the understanding of appropriate brick cladding procedure. After implementing this plan, a renaissance of awareness occurred with masonry failures beginning to decrease. The South Carolina Brick Association soon announced an increase in brick production that continued to bring back lost market share. My work paid off as I was able to heighten public awareness of proper brick installation that changed an attitude of brick being a difficult material to work with. Architecture Freeman-Major Architects, PA., and Neal-Prince & Partners, Inc . Sept 1980– July 1987 Designer-Artist: As an artist while working in each of the architectural firms above, I created scaled presentation drawings, perspectives, paintings, and built 3-D models during the design development process. I also generated construction working drawing and specification documents. Compute software opperated 1. Microsoft Office Suite
