Twenty-five years of building and construction management experience with a significant concentration in large scale, phased renovation projects have provided me with the expertise to identify, address and resolve complicated challenges facing owners in the current market.
Since 1989, I have completed 150 projects for a diverse array of owners in 15 plus states. I have learned the art and science of collaborative project planning and am driven to continually gain expertise. One of my fundamental beliefs is that optimal results are achieved through highly detailed-oriented planning, before construction begins. Of course, one of reasons I have a passion for construction is that it is a dynamic industry and sometimes presents the unknown. In those situations, experience really pays off.
I am fortunate to have experience working directly for owners for approximately half of the 25 years I have project managed large scale renovations and I have always considered their checkbook as my own. I’ve continued demonstrating that value in my role as a contractor and this is one of the principles of the long-standing relationships I enjoy in business.
Value engineering has become an over-used catch phrase in modern construction. However, it takes real know-how, born of actual understanding, to integrate practical alternates in the planning phase as well as delivering quickly thought out options when an unanticipated circumstance presents itself in the middle of a construction schedule (like that would ever happen!).
I believe in exceeding the expectations of owners in three ways: Superior Planning, Adherence to Project Budget and delivering Excellent Results
