RE: Opportunities for Experienced Preconstruction/Estimating Professional
I am interested in securing a position in Preconstruction / Estimating. I have most recently
been providing preconstruction consulting, and preparing conceptual estimates. I have enjoyed
considerable success in estimating; securing a high percentage of projects. I have a low rate
of omissions or errors, and the projects I have estimated have enjoyed high profitability when
executed according to, and following the path of, estimates as prepared.
I have 26+ years of practical experience in commercial construction. I began with "McDevitt &
Street" in Charlotte, NC in 1982 and have worked with several General Contractors over the
years. I have a short learning curve, and am always eager to learn all aspects of commercial
construction allowing me to improve in my career accordingly. Beginning in 1988 I have held
positions as Project Foreman, Assistant Superintendent, Superintendent, Assistant Project
Manager, Project Manager, Jr. Estimator, Estimator, Senior Estimator, Chief Estimator, and
more recently as Director of Pre-Construction. My estimating experience exceeds 15 years.
My exceptional estimating skills, previous experience and positive ongoing relationships with
the more respected and reputable sub-contractors and vendors in the areas I work have afforded
me great success in my field. I have personally supervised and executed several projects from
ground breaking to turn-over. This has given me the perspective and experience to envision
projects during the construction phase. This experience enables tight estimates, avoids costly
omissions, and maintains high profitability.
I possess excellent verbal and written communication skills. I am highly skilled with computers,
"Timberline" estimating software, “On-Screen†Take-off, and Microsoft Office. I am very
proficient at compiling and analyzing data and have mastered estimating processes and procedures.
I have worked with and learned from many top performers in the construction industry. I would be
a considerable asset to any Commercial Contractor seeking to be as competitive and effective as
possible in this ever changing, and increasingly competitive market that we work in.
I offer my services and skills as available, and would enjoy speaking with you regarding
opportunities that you may have available. ***To receive my Full Resume, including work history,
project list etc. please phone or email me***. I look forward to hearing from you. I am open to
relocating for the right opportunity. Given a lack of available Preconstruction or Estimator
openings/opportunities, I would consider Project Management or Superintendent Positions.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
