Looking for an estimator that is hands-on and can do more than estimate? Then I am your man. I bring over 15 years of estimating and purchasing experience in custom home, commercial, multi-family and project management as well as being an owner of a successful small business. My experience in construction runs the gamut. It includes, but not limited to, accounting, estimating and purchasing, project management, warranty service, and scheduling. Able to use a wide variety of software including: Excel, BuildSoft, and Builder360. I am hard-working, honest, and believe there is no detail too small to be addressed.
