A resume alone cannot convey the skills and experience I have in the construction management and development fields. I have done both renovation and new construction. These experiences include but are not limited to the following:
· Site appraisal and selection, working with federal, Native American, state, county and local officials and developers on code compliance and DOT requirements to meet the needs and goals of each specific project.
· Meeting and participating with owners, architects and engineers on developing the goals of the project, including scopes and specifications for the purpose of defining contract terms and conditions.
· Working closely with estimators to establish budgets and costs and set realistic schedules using accepted computer programs such as Timberline.
· Qualifying subcontractors for each specific division as needed, distributing blueprints and reviewing proposals and bids in conjunction with the finance, executive and estimating personnel.
· Awarding bids and holding pre-construction meetings with sub-contractors to assure schedules are viable and making adjustments when necessary.
· Having a hands on approach for projects thus assuring that schedules and budgets are workable. This has included reviewing and implementing any change orders, meeting with subcontractors to discuss necessary changes and also working with financial personnel on monthly draws.
· Working closely with the legal, development, financial and real estate department staffs on current and future projects.
Sincerely,
Richard Cooper
