LEADERSHIP ~ EXPERIENCE ~ RESULTS
In this market all it takes is one missed function on your estimate or a critical mistake in the field to put the project over budget and behind schedule. This is a time when proven leadership and experience puts you in a position to capitalize on your ROI. A leader who understands the difference between effort and results can make the difference between profit and loss. A leader who has succeeded during past construction related recessions. A leader who knows how to run multiple operations and change direction as needs require.
Having a go to team player to bail out troubled projects, find the available qualified sub on a moment’s notice, think through the construction critical path and come up with the winning solutions is invaluable and timeless.
Project under $100,000 or over $100,000,000 will be in qualified hands, be completed on-time, within budget and to the customers expectations. Additionally, the project team will enjoy working together and enjoy mutual respect.
District supervisors, construction management firms and government officials all agree that a proven leader with decades of experience, and a cooperative positive attitude will make the project a smooth and successful enterprise.
Adjusted compensation and long hours are expected today by construction professionals. Bringing both with exceptional qualifications will generate the profits needed to survive this downturn and position your company for future success sooner when the industry recovers.
Thank you,
Joshua M. Fink
