Here I was responsible for engineering designs and cost controls of grading, structural, plumbing and HVAC of commercial, industrial and residential projects. These projects include: Senior Center, County Money Counting Bldg., Orthopedic Clinic and office building. I have also worked 5 years with Lockheed Missiles & Space Company in their Architectural/Engineering department in Sunny vale CA. Here, I worked very closely with both the architectural and engineering groups and provided cost value-engineering recommendations during the design stage of the projects. I monitored and saved 1 million dollars in the design and construction of a 2-story design/build specialty laboratories building in Palo Alto CA. In the 5 years I was also involve in the scheduling and monitoring of all new and renovated buildings relative to cost controls, budgets and construction.

My enclose resume highlights some of the key projects I have completed. My extensive experience in design cost estimating, engineering and focus on details gives me the ability to prepare Budgets, Conceptual, Schematic, DD, CD, Change order reviews and Claims Analysis and Resolutions for these types of estimates.
