Dear Hiring Manager:
I have been extremely involved in both custom and production residential construction for nearly 30 years in South Florida; not only on the production side, but also the planning, permitting, and fiscal management necessary to successful residential construction operations. The majority of my experience has been in the very competitive Palm Beach County luxury home market including Jupiter, Boca Raton, and Palm Beach Gardens.
My comprehensive involvement in all aspects of the South Florida residential construction industry provides me with the unique ability to bring value added experience to your organization. This includes:
• Qualifier for residential and commercial construction (# CBC-028049)
• Financials - Analyze financial data to improve overall profitability without sacrificing quality of end product delivered.
• Job Scheduling – Ability to streamline production in order to increase efficiencies which affect your bottom line.
• Project Management - Familiar with South Florida permitting process, building codes, inspection procedures. Adept at supervising and motivating crews to deliver on budget and on time. Consistently achieved top safety awards.
• Bidding/Bid Packages - Negotiate with vendors including an extensive network of luxury home subcontractors in order to obtain favorable pricing and performance.
• Sales & Marketing – Licensed Real Estate Broker - Act as a critical resource to sales team. Review contracts and assist in plan revisions necessary to make the sale. (#BK-330813)
• Customer Relations – Work hand in hand with high net worth customers and decorators to deliver a custom product to meet their expectations. Consistently achieved top performance awards for customer satisfaction.
Throughout my career, I have had the pleasure to work for major publicly traded homebuilders where I supervised entire teams, as well as privately held companies where my time and attention were more focused on the jobsite. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss career possibilities with you. With my experience and knowledge, I am able to make a strong impact in the office or the field. Business and personal references are available upon request.
Thank you for your consideration.
