 Developed and managed project plans: critical paths and cost control to ensure the projects were completed on time, on budget and met quality expectations. Coordinated the progress of the construction program through regular reviews with the superintendents. Ensured that homes were built to requirements and specifications established by construction drawings, revisions, and building regulations. Achieved 100% project deliverable completions while meeting stringent deadlines and budget requirements. Created sound, positive, and productive work environment – by resolving conflicts immediately and maintaining open communication. Hence, reduced voluntary employee turnover by 33%. Resolved a landlocked construction site issue of a proposed residential development by approaching the adjacent landowner and tactically negotiating an easement that worked for both parties. Developed and maintained robust and productive supplier and trade contractor relationships. Imbibed and communicated the company’s quality and performance standards to all trade contractors and suppliers. Updated and implemented processes for carrying out inspections, maintaining quality control and operating procedures. Maintained an active community relationship with neighbours by fostering a win‐win relationship.

Lagos, Nigeria

 Supervised the construction and successfully delivered the infrastructural development: water supply, sewage treatment, storm drain, electricity, and telecommunications of reclaimed unserviced land into 680‐serviced and ready‐to‐build vacant lots. Monitored progress and ensured design specifications, as well as safety and sanitation standards, were being met. Provided technical advice regarding design and construction to trades and directed RFIs to the consulting engineers. Collaborated with the cost consultants to ensure accurate valuations of contractors’ works for stage payments. Supported the drafting and reviewing of supplementary contracts and negotiated with contractors to achieve reasonable costs. Checked plans, drawings, and quantities for accuracy of calculations. Performed setting out, levelling and surveying on the site. Fostered communication between project sites and head office through planning and attendance of all meetings with staff and senior management to facilitate the flow of information between all parties. Detected a survey error at the pre‐construction phase and saved the project cost of rework and potential litigations due to land encroachment. Saved the project up to 50% in the cost of shoreline protection by introducing an alternative: reno mattresses and gabion baskets over sheet piles.
