If you're a contractor or developer who needs senior preconstruction expertise without the overhead of a full-time hire — that's exactly what I do. Over the past decade I've managed construction programs exceeding $500 million in value across commercial, government, and rail infrastructure projects. My specialization includes signals, catenary systems, and communications work in the transit and railroad space — a combination few construction consultants can credibly offer. On the commercial side I've managed everything from ground-up new construction and tenant fit-outs to historic renovations and institutional facilities. Whether your project is a commercial build-out or a complex rail infrastructure program, the discipline is the same — tight preconstruction, clean systems, and no surprises in the field. For my clients, I typically handle preconstruction management, detailed quantity takeoffs, estimating, schedule development, risk analysis, and the systems that keep complex projects from falling apart. I don't just deliver documents — I build the operational infrastructure that helps smaller contractors compete and win like larger ones. What I actually do for clients: — Preconstruction management from concept through bid — Quantity takeoffs and preliminary estimates — Commercial construction management — ground-up, renovation, and fit-out — Rail and transit infrastructure project oversight — System creation and process documentation for growing contractors — Schedule development and risk analysis — Change order and RFI management Tools: Construct Connect, Microsoft Project, Smartsheet, Fieldwire, Excel, Word, PowerPoint I work with a small team that allows me to take on engagements of varying scale — from focused consulting on a single scope to ongoing fractional preconstruction management across your entire operation. If you need someone who has managed the complexity of major infrastructure and commercial programs and can bring that discipline to your business, let's talk.
