Ready for the PM seat

Project management I already run as a superintendent

Because I came up through the trades, I know how the work actually gets built, and that keeps a budget and a schedule honest. On my jobs I have kept up to 80 subcontractors moving on one schedule, and run restaurant projects solo from mobilization through closeout.

  • Schedule

    Whole-job schedule and a three-week lookahead that matches what is actually happening on site. I built the Excel templates I use.

  • Buyout

    Buyout tickets and subcontractor compliance, kept current in CMiC.

  • RFIs

    RFIs tracked and kept current in the platform the company runs on.

  • Change orders

    Change orders kept current right alongside the owner's schedule.

  • Owner reporting

    Daily reports and weekly summaries. No surprises for the owner.

  • Closeout

    Punch lists with a photo, a spot on the plan and a trade for every item, so nothing sits open at turnover.
