Accomplishments
• In all bidding processes, I was usually the only bidder that took in 10+ value engineering benefits while other bidders usually had 3 or 4 with private clients.
• Knowing that our industry is ever changing, I have always tried to maintain my education by reading everything I can get my hands on. Both for professional and personal growth.
• Have bided work in the following states, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, New York and Pennsylvania.
• Having experience in various locations, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, New York and Pennsylvania, I have accumulated a large list of quality prime subcontractors as well as sub-prime contractors including many material supplier contacts.
• Upon making the contacts I was able to approve and disapprove those vendors that I wanted to do business with, by evaluating their competence through conversations and identification of licensees, insurances, crew size, billing services, ability to perform according to draw schedules and technical competence.
• I have developed an eye for detail; I can tell when something is just 1/8 inch out of level or plumb. I have been told that I was “the pickiest construction manager that they had ever metâ€, especially when it comes to safety and cleanliness my opinion is if it is not good enough for me personally how can I expect someone else to accept it?
• I authored 2 complete construction manuals from building layout through the walk-through/punch-list, including many monitoring forms and documents. I have also authored several different software programs for estimating, sales staff and customer presentations.
• I have an ability to be able to disagree without being disagreeable. If two intelligent human beings can discuss the core issues then somewhere there is an answer that will benefit everyone involved. I have a deep core belief of hard work, integrity, communication, passion for customer satisfaction including my industry, especially for my team and employer; all radiate professionalism.
Benefits
• My experiences have allowed me to be in the position to bring to my future employer 30 solid years of experience in all facets of construction. I have had many golden opportunities to learn from great teachers and knowledgeable cohorts who have unselfishly gave of themselves for the benefit of passing the trade onto me. Having been in a place of responsibility of providing work for those I have had contact with and their families over my 16 years of owning my own business gave me great satisfaction of knowing I contributed to them and their family’s successes. I hope that this experience is something that I can continue on doing.
• I have also been able to learn lessons that cannot be taught in the classrooms by being self-employed for 16 years, such as cash flow for business, researching and securing work, finding various trades when going into a new area, getting involved in community activities and most of all knowing at the end of the day I made a difference in the world around me, I never want the accolade, but would rather my team around me get the credit.
• Having performed first hand most of the tasks that are required on any construction site I am able to discuss with great intelligence, with anyone the way that I want it completed as well as what is acceptable and what is not. If during the construction process and something is discovered that is not correct, I am able to get the work re-done by the original vendor without any additional costs to the budget.
• I am a multi-tasker at heart; I can handle many activities at one time without losing focus on any of them. I enjoy working with my cohorts and we learn from each other and together. I enjoy being busy and thinking and planning ahead. My mentor taught me the value of the 7 P’s Proper Prior Planning Prevents Pitifully Poor Performance!
• My purchasing and document experience goes hand in hand with the supervision of trades, one without the other causes problems from the start to the completion. This is why it is so important to me that my team around me including the support staff is committed to excellence. Failure is not an option with me, and that begins with me. I have a very high standard for myself to help my team succeed. Success breeds more success as well as future work for the team that I am a part of.
