With the help of our systems administrator (SA) and other skilled professionals - I am leading an effort to modernize the platforms and processes utilized by our excellent management, field, and support personnel. We will be addressing existing communication bottlenecks by introducing streamlined online processes (and ensuring proper documentation is constructed along the way) that are user friendly, smart, scalable, and efficient. Project Estimation is the cornerstone of success for a profitable construction company. This position develops a full grasp of the processes, costs, scheduling, and time requirements associated with successful completion of a job from start to finish. Completion of time-sensitive bids, rigorous attention to detail, professionalism in client interactions, and prioritization of tasks are paramount skills necessary for success. My time at Force began in the estimating department. Often deemed "the lifeblood of our company" by our president, my time there forged my knowledge of the construction industry via trial by fire. Though the immense wealth of esoteric knowledge that is necessary to do a job well in the construction industry is daunting, I continue to be incredibly grateful for the access to the decades of wisdom that is Force's leadership team.
