About 

September 2018  
   
   
With the recent economic construction industry improvement I have begun searching for full time employment again.  My broad range of architectural, interior, and construction administration experience qualifies me for a variety of employment opportunities both in and out of the profession.

At my previous position I was engaged in the management of (1) the conversion of a 6 story triangular factory building into Residential Condominiums, (2) the construction of a 14 story Hotel/Residential Condominium, and (3) the construction of a 30 story Residential Rental with a three block long Commercial Base at grade and two below ground levels.  Located in New York City the projects varied in scale/scope from $80 to $200 million.

Ongoing oversight responsibilities for the three projects included:
  
  Staff Supervision/Training/Education/Issues Resolution/Responsibility Delegation/
    To Do List/Productivity Maintenance
  Construction Document Deficiencies/Updates/Clarifications/Revisions
  Construction Document Inadequacy Identification
  Coordination of Consultants Documents with Architectural Documents
  Owner/Architect/Construction Manager Meetings
  Maintenance of Client/Construction Manager/Consultant Communications
  Shop Drawing Review and Problems/Error/Oversight Resolution
  Shop Drawing Consultant Overview/Coordination/Follow-up
  Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing Coordination with Sub-contractors
  Maintenance of Design Intent within Coordination Process
  Value Engineering Evaluations/Revisions
  Expeditious Problem Resolution for Maintenance of Construction Schedules
  RFI Resolution/Response/Follow-up/Document Coordination
  Constructibility, Code Compliance, and Non–Conformance to Contract
   Documents Issues
  Means & Methods Construction Integration into Contract Documents
  Evaluation of Services Requests Not within Contract  

Prior to this position, I maintained an office with two employees for sixteen years.  With our enthusiasm for design-oriented work, the practice focused primarily on high-end well-crafted residential projects.  Major projects encompassed (1) the renovation to an Upper Eastside Townhouse including all Interior Decoration, (2) the renovation, addition, and new construction to several single family Brooklyn Residences including all Interior Decoration, and (3) the renovation and Pool Cabana addition to a Stanford White Residence in New Jersey.  Commercial projects included high-end Corporate Office Interiors in Midtown Manhattan.  The projects ranged in style from traditional, transitional, and contemporary vocabularies to historical restoration based on client direction and contextual requirements.  The client relationships I have maintained has allowed me the flexibility to continued with these types of projects over the last several years following the impact of the economic downturn.

I am familiar with various word processing (Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, Outlook), data management (Excel), presentation (Powerpoint), accounting (QuickBooks), time tracking, invoicing, purchase order, document control, and payroll software.  Within both the small and large scale office environment, I have a working although not proficient understanding of design software (Autocad, Revit, Adobe) document production.

I believe my sensitivity to both esthetic and technical design issues, project management skills, ability to prioritize and manage multiple projects, articulate communication skills, and over 25 years of practical office knowledge would be an asset to your firm.  If there are any questions or addition information you require please feel free to contact me.
