dear hiring manager:

my success in the construction, architectural, and engineering industry over the past 25 years has been largely dependent on three key tenets:

(1)     all parties must endeavor to accurately interpret the intent of design. this is done by becoming intimately familiar with the design which allows for proactive resolution of issues.
(2)     meticulous review of the construction documents aids in the reduction of risk and maximizes profit by completing the project on time and within budget.
(3)     continuous monitoring and management of the project team helps us to achieve accuracy and synergy between all involved parties. this prevents tasks from falling between the cracks and duplication of responsibilities by project team members.

having worked in architectural, engineering, specialty, and construction firms, i am highly qualified to understand the varying needs and requirements of all facets of a construction project and the different people that make up the team.  my unique blend of sharp business acumen, analytical aptitude, and strong communication skills has been instrumental in my solid record of success.

i look forward to further discussing my qualifications with you. please feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule an interview. 


sincerely,
