To form a mutually rewarding construction management/estimator relationship with a general contractor involved in diverse commercial development and construction on a regional or national level.
Dear Sir or Madam:
I would like to offer you my experience as a design/build estimator and project manager and be considered a candidate for the current estimator position you have available.
As a successful regional and national design/build estimator and project manager, my experience includes site investigation, conceptual building and site planning; establishing detailed budgets for development and construction; managing the building and site plans for permitting and subcontractor bidding; coordinating the permit process with various state and municipal governments and managing the construction process from creating the estimate and presenting the bid through final project closeout.
I possess a broad evolutionary construction career in general contracting. With that diverse background, I am able to provide strong skills in the areas of estimating, bid preparation, contract negotiation and execution, scheduling and all related disciplines of project management.
I embrace technology. I am comfortable with the increasing role technology plays in the development and construction industry. I am computer literate and at ease with numerous software applications including Microsoft Word, Corel Word Perfect, Microsoft Excel, Corel Quattro Pro, Microsoft Project, Primavera P3 and AutoCAD.
Based on integrity and a strong work ethic, I develop a high level of trust and confidence with owners, architects, engineers and subcontractors. I have a hands-on approach to estimating and project management and work under the premise that all members of a team work for each other as well as together.
I am best contacted by my cellular telephone, or e-mail, at any time you find convenient. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Charles W. Gerloff II
