OBJECTIVE

To plan, organize and direct through a middle management team, the design, development, construction and final commissioning of high-rise residential apartment buildings.

PROFILE

An experienced multi-faceted project manager with an extensive background in orchestrating and coordinating the design, development and construction of residential high-rise apartment buildings. A dedicated and conscientious hands-on manager with strong technical knowledge, organizational and negotiating skills made stronger through extensive experience in all phases of construction. An analytical and pragmatic troubleshooter, capable of solving problems and turning around a difficult situation. Competent in assessing situations, researching practical options and executing initiatives that consistently meet objectives. Articulate and communicative, calm and ethical and adept at reporting and liaising with authorities and professional consultants. Recognized as a “go to” person by co-workers and owners/clients. Offers a solid record of achievement in overseeing the implementation and progression to completion.

SELECTED ACHIEVEMENTS

Took charge of a problematic 3 phase condominium and orchestrated the remediation within a six month time frame. As a motivated and results oriented self starter, I led an on site team of 5 people to correct a multitude of deficiencies during final commissioning. This resulted in the withdrawal of a class action lawsuit by a group of dissatisfied purchasers.

Directed the timely completion of a 5 storey condominium that was 2 months behind schedule after concrete forming. After analyzing the root causes of the delay, I identified several problems, recommended and directed the implementation of solutions thereby completing the project on time and on budget 4 months later.

Co-wrote a submission to Council and planning authorities resulting in the reduction of a parkland levy for a 232 suite condominium of over two million dollars. Uses initiative and judgement in analyzing problems; determines critical factors for investigation, decides the most effective approach, orchestrates the implementation of the final solution. As a result, council approved a new levy assessment formula based on this recommendation that other companies were able to benefit from.

Liaised with consultants, planning and municipal authorities during the development of an 18 storey 232 unit condominium. Through persistence and due diligence, I was able to oversee and orchestrate the approval process to achieve planning approval in 5 months after concept and the building permit 3 months later.

Researched and analyzed alternative solutions to servicing 24 homes in a 48 home subdivision. By identifying creative but practical alternatives, I was able to negotiate with works department officials to permit the installation of services on private property. This reduced the number of street connections to one for each service and saved the developer over 60% of his servicing costs.
