OBJECTIVE:
To complete projects safely with the utmost quality while maintaining schedule and budget and maintaining good client relations.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

Demonstrated a history of completing multimillion dollar projects ahead of schedule and under budget. With over 30 years of construction and engineering experience I have acquired the ability to foresee problem areas and provide corrective solutions prior to effecting schedule and recommended changes to conserve project resources. Performed value engineering of design prior to construction to examine design and specifications to determine more economical changes could be made without sacrificing design intent and MEP coordination prior to and during construction to identify and eliminate interferences with architectural, structural, electrical, HVAC and piping to minimize change orders. Extremely knowledgeable in the following disciplines: civil, structural, electrical, mechanical and piping codes.
