Additional Information
I pride myself on my relationship skills with clients, subcontractors and vendors. I’ve worked in and around construction management and design for the last 25yrs. I’m a big believer that “the devils in the details”. I live and breath this field, following closely the design trends yet keeping in mind the importance of sustainability functionality and while keeping in mind not to follow short lived trends.
