made sense for both parties.

I did the daily scheduling of 55 to 65 men and 6 to 7 Foremen, ordered materials, set up projects, kept track of company issued materials, supplies and equipment, checked all time cards and prepared them for the Payroll Department, worked on field problems and spoke to superintendents and project managers regarding scheduling and field issues.

In 1994 I took the Contractors State exam and received my California State Contractors License. As Salesman and Project Manager I called on customers, did pricing and take offs, prepared submittals for approval, drew my own shop drawings for architects approval, kept track of change orders, prepared billings, helped architects with design, ordered materials, interacted with our field personnel, the contractor and owners of the projects. I saw the projects through from beginning to end. In 1995 and 1996 I hired another Project manager to help manage my work because my sales had exceeded 3.5 to 4 million per year.
