Profile

Results-oriented, hands-on construction and development professional with 20 years

of experience in all facets of the industry. A successful track record of managing

various building types; from tenant improvements, hotels and restaurants, ground-up builds, to

specialty projects. I have run various overseas projects from inception to final turnover. Project sizes ranged from $200,000 to $5,000,000 + and multiple

project management up to $12,000,000+. I am experienced in coordinating

trades (union and open shop), developing partnerships, fast track

scheduling, and building positive rapport with architects, engineers, local officials,

vendors and clients, while maintaining costs. I am versed in contract negotiations,

project estimating, value engineering, contract buyouts, document preparation, material purchasing and site management through certification of occupancy. I have dealt with and overcome all forms of problems that create delays, budget constraints, work stoppage and pretty much anything else that can and will create difficulties on a construction project. I have worked throughout the U.S, Caribbean, Canada and multiple European locations.

Andrew Maxx Construction, Inc.

Project manager

1991-1998

Started out as a superintendent on commercial projects. Over the next 7 years I

advanced from site superintendent, to an estimator, then project coordinator, to

assistant project manager, and finally a project manager. My building experiences

range from ground-ups, tenant improvements, and restorative projects, to hotels,

restaurants, warehouse, and mall work. As a project manager the last 3 years, I was

responsible for as many as 4-5 projects, running simultaneously. These projects

were all with national clients and required extensive travel to all sites.

Project sizes varied, but normally I would be responsible for $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 in

project accounts at any given time. My responsibilities included all client communication,

hiring of construction teams, qualifying and awarding of all subcontracts, scheduling, delegation

of authority to on-site supervisors, value engineering with owner representatives and architects,

and close-outs of all projects.
