Alex Garcia

Since returning to the US, I have been working on projects for properties I own, including:

• Sourcing materials and constructing an office.
• Sourcing materials and constructing a bathroom in the basement of an investment property.
• Volunteering my time to provide handyman services to my daughter's preschool.

I established a successful business providing finish carpentry services to customers in Sydney, Australia.

• Worked on a number of high-profile projects, including projects that were featured in magazines and commercials.
• Project managed a new build, including demolition of the original residence, sourcing suppliers, engaging a primary builder, and other contractors such as landscaping, concrete, and pool builders. The build budget was AUD$1.5 million and the project was completed within budget.
• While working on projects, I coordinated and managed three carpenters, including teaching apprentice carpenters.

• 
  
• Inspected existing structures for signs of damage due to age, wear and tear or environmental factors.
• Checked wood and other materials to assess for damaged or defective items before starting projects to accurately determine projects scales and quotes.
• Reviewed and interpreted project specifications, determining tools and equipment needed.
• Analyzed blueprints and drawings to determine structural dimensions of framework.
• Analyzed problematic installations and implemented appropriate solutions for quick remediation.
