Dear Gentleman,
My main objective as field construction inspector has been to identify constructability issues of
approved plans – vs. - existing conditions. Reporting issues to the project manager/engineer and
designer, in a timely or real time manner depending on urgency.
Report existing Platt conditions that could hinder planned contract quantities and before
contractor has completed all of pay items, requesting remobilization charges. Document preconstruction
conditions of project easement, but also neighboring private property, diligently
monitoring contractor and ensure subcontractor are not out of their easement and damaging
those properties , leading to law suits and impacting the close out phase.
In the twenty six years in the Geotechnical, Materials Testing, Construction Management,
Structural, and Coating inspection, has enabled me to be a well rounded and proficient inspector.
Knowing day to day where to be present at the most critical times, situations or pay applications.
My mission statement: represent your firm competently, professionally, relaying information that
benefits the company, client, and project. Delivering the project as per the plan and
specifications, under budget, satisfying all parties and a will to work together in the future.
Respectfully yours,
Gerald Corona

Identified errors in haul off quantities and fill grades, eliminating change order
need
Reported elevation changes during installation of utilities, in a swampy platt
before all excavation saving engineers’ embarrassment and client cost.
