To Whom It May Concern;
RESULT-ORIENTED CONSTRUCTION SUPERINTENDENT NOW AVAILABLE
Very early in my career in construction, I noticed that there are two types of Construction Superintendents: the kind that get results under ideal conditions, and the kind that gets results under any condition.
Just as early, I made a decision that I wanted to be in the second category. To that end, I’ve made it my business to learn from as many of the result-getting mentors as I could identify, while working as an Associate Construction Superintendent and as a Construction Superintendent myself.
The lessons that I have learned is that the secrets to obtaining results that surpass the clients expectations are actually quite simple: Communication, planning and execution.
As a result, I have made these three actions my guides for every project I manage. Complete and clear communication with the client, engineers and crew mean that everyone --- starting with myself --- is aware of what needs to be done.
Once the goal is determined, the next step is to plan. Unlike many Construction Superintendents that want to start acting as soon as possible, I’ve learned that every hour of planning turns out saving two hours of improvising, or worse yet, fixing later.
Lastly, I make it a point to execute the plan as efficiently and completely as possible, providing all participants with the resources they need to complete their duties, then holding them responsible.
My most recent job with my previous employer severely tested these precepts. For this job, I was brought in very late on the project, after the previous contractor lost the job for cost overruns and code violations.
By the time I walked onto the jobsite, the client was furious and despondent over the lost time and money that the project had consumed. But by communication, I was able to work out what new deadlines and budgets they could be comfortable with. By very extensive planning, a very aggressive schedule was created to meet their new deadline and that plan was executed.
As a result, the project was completed at very close to the original budget, and much more cheaply than the worst case scenario that the client had feared they would be stuck with.
I’d like to tell you more about this experience and more examples of how I can bring my Construction Management skills to your company. Please call me to meet you at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Robert Pizarro
