Work History

Owner/Operator Sole Proprietor

Mark Knapp Construction Consultant
06.2012 - 01.2025

1) I perform several different tasks as a Construction Consultant; each client has a different need or service.

2) Very often I am contracted to take an independent assessment of the complete operation process both in the office and in the field. After I have gathered the information I then present my findings

and my suggestions of change.

3) I will also fill in for a client in any supervion positions to compliment their staff short falls.

4) I am often called to specific complex projects or to remedy a failing structure.

5) I am actively seeking full time employment to have a more steady income rather than the irraticate cash flow from the Consultant business. W2 or 1099 are both acceptable.
