Summary
With 24 years of experience, I have a strong track record in organizing and facilitating the construction process for managed developments. From initial planning to final delivery, I consistently execute pre-construction, construction, quality control, and post-construction responsibilities with precision. A key strength is developing comprehensive construction budgets and ensuring adherence to financial plans throughout the project lifecycle.
