Resume:
PorterFanna Architecture, DPC, Brooklyn, NY, US, Project Manager
Typical project management involved day-to-day operations in schematic design, design development, DoB filing, building board submissions, bidding negotiation, construction documentation and administration, & project close-out for multiple jobs.
The work was primarily mid/high-end apartment renovations in NYC.
By virtue of being a small office, I worked directly with clients and contractors.
The first project I managed from start-finish closed out 2% under the predicted budget.
Island Exterior Fabricators, Calverton, NY, US, Project Manager
My main tasks were fabrication tickets, material takeoffs, material orders, shop drawings, construction administration, value engineering.
All projects were panelized facade construction & custom metal fabrication.
I worked at the headquarters office attached to fabrication shops with hundreds of full-time workers, allowing for frequent feedback & firsthand expert experience with fabrication and assembly.
My first work out of school, I started as a draftsman and was promoted to project engineer, & on to project manager within 2 years
I left to pursue work with more opportunity for creative design.
