Mike Knepp Jr Email & Phone Number

• Managed the construction of a 100,000 sqft storage facility and 3 custom homes.• Took raw land all the way to the construction phase with creative engineering, planning, legal analysis, and negotiations with sellers, investors, land planners, and local AHJs.• I managed the mobilization of 2 command centers for EPA Region 6 for the Hurricane Harvey Superfund remediation response. Contracted for the rapid assembly and deployment of 120 temporary mobile housing units and all accompanying services such as security, telecommunications, electrical, water/wastewater, sanitation, cleaning, and laundry services across 2 campuses within 8 days. We demobilized the 2 campuses with equal speed upon completion of the contract so as not to burden local citizens.• The remainder of my time at Knepp Inc has been spent strategic planning for the growth of the business, construction sales, and the purchasing and development of land for real estate deals. Specifically, the last 2 years have been spent bringing an undeveloped but prominent property through the planning department to turn an underutilized piece of land into a safe and beneficial destination for tourists to the city. I have spent my time counseling with lawyers and meeting with city officials on how to best meet the needs of the city, the citizens, and our investment partners.

• I was one of several project managers on a 250,000 sqft solar cell manufacturing project where the original contractor failed to progress. For our scope of contract, I was able to take the original budget of $5M down to $4.2M through creative value engineering and subcontractor negotiations. We completed our work on time and under budget while netting a reasonable profit. • The client would not have met the state-mandated employment deadlines if not for my creative solutions to start up the clean room manufacturing lines while construction was ongoing. The client was able to achieve satisfactory manufacturing yields validating the clean construction methods we used. Not only did the client save money on our budgetary line items but also millions in state funding, tax incentives, and the more efficient startup for the other contractors and equipment vendors.
