Dear Mr. Hall:

Could your company use a results-oriented problem solver with a thirst for new challenges? As a seasoned Construction Project Manager/Owner's Representative experienced in successfully completing diverse commercial construction projects ranging in value from $250K to $40 million, I bring

a B.S. in Architecture
strong commitment to customer service and quality in everything I do
exceptional skills in fostering team rapport through direct communication
proven ability to develop, monitor, and meet construction deadlines, finishing at or under budget

Here's a sampling of some of my successes:

Completed construction of $8.5 million hotel project three weeks ahead of schedule and $250K under budget, while exporting and replacing 50,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil.
Maintained a nearly 100% within-budget and on-schedule success rate in completing construction of 12 fast-food restaurants within a 12-month period.
Reduced time required creating punch lists by 50%. Created and facilitated efficient hotel-room construction inspection process.
Decreased time required to track and expedite units to jobsite by 50% through development of unique estimating spreadsheet that categorized custom door and window unit types and prices.
