Estimating, Sales & PM

MJR Theatres - We would receive a report of damages that occurred every weekend. This would need to be completed for the Thursday evening Shows. I set the schedule, made sure the materials were on-site when needed and of course was the main contact to the MJR liaison. MJR had about 12 Metro Detroit Complex's with 4 to 16 screens. I usually had a minimum or 4 Union Carpenters working Monday Mornings thru Thursday afternoon (M-W were usually an 8 hour day per Man) we started earlier & cleaned up by showtime. We fixed damaged drywall, ACT, Toilet Stalls & even the storefront glass in Southgate when at about 4AM a guy with a truck backed thru the storefront, tied a chain around the ATM & took off) the chain broke before he could get out of the lot. We also did renovations of the Restrooms, Refreshment stand and some office work that could be completed without disrupting the customers. I oversaw the work (updated by my lead carpenter) & made sure MJR was happy, assigned labor or subs, managed Billing to our Accounting Department.
