Summary
Experienced and detail-oriented estimator with a solid background in preparing accurate takeoffs and cost estimates for a variety of projects, including massive mixed-use multifamily, hospitality, commercial, healthcare, institutional, and industrial developments. Skilled in reading complex blueprints and using tools like PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, AutoCAD, and Revit to complete reliable and accurate proposals.
I also support the senior project manager by verifying material orders, coordinating with the field team, and maintaining project logs and documentation.
In my master’s program, my final project focused on project delivery methods. I researched and analyzed different approaches to delivering construction projects, such as Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, Construction Manager at Risk, and Integrated Project Delivery. The project involved evaluating the advantages, disadvantages, and suitability of each method for different types of projects, providing insights into how delivery strategies impact cost, schedule, risk, and collaboration among stakeholders.
