With more than 25 years of experience in construction engineering, project management, cost engineering, and large-scale development oversight, this construction engineering and project management expert witness specializes in construction management, project development, construction operations, cost estimating, value engineering, scheduling analysis, owner’s representation services, and lifecycle construction coordination. The expert has participated in hundreds of projects with a combined value exceeding $1 billion involving all phases of development from initial feasibility analysis and real estate acquisition through design development, construction execution, warranty administration, and facilities operations management. The expert has more than 5 years of experience providing consultations, deposition testimony, and courtroom testimony involving construction engineering, construction defects, scheduling disputes, cost evaluation, operational analysis, construction claims, and project-management-related disputes.

Areas of expertise include multimillion-dollar project execution, contractor and subcontractor coordination, budgeting oversight, procurement management, construction administration, quality assurance, project controls, Independent Government Estimates (IGE), and value engineering studies across commercial, institutional, governmental, infrastructure, and residential developments. Professional credentials include licensure as a Professional Engineer (P.E.), Certified General Contractor designation, Certified Cost Engineer (CCE), Certified Cost Consultant (CCC), Certified Professional Estimator (CPE), Certified Value Specialist (CVS), and Certified Construction Contract Administrator (CCCA). Educational attainment includes a Master of Business Administration degree and a Bachelor of Science degree in Construction Management from an ABET-accredited engineering and technology program.

Professional construction leadership experience includes service as estimator, project manager, construction manager, owner’s representative, general contractor, consultant, architect/engineer representative, cost engineer, and Value Engineering Officer on a broad range of public and private sector projects. The expert’s work has involved oversight and coordination of hospitals, schools, courthouses, restaurants, office buildings, condominiums, subdivision developments, military facilities, and civil works infrastructure requiring multidisciplinary coordination, scheduling management, budget-conscious project delivery, and construction performance oversight. Additional experience includes redevelopment and management of construction operations, implementation of quality-control initiatives, and coordination of project teams throughout all phases of construction and infrastructure development. The expert has also managed federal government “mega” projects exceeding $100 million in value involving military and civil works construction, environmental coordination, remediation oversight, utility coordination, GIS-related planning initiatives, and facilities development activities.

Extensive cost engineering and value engineering experience includes preparation, management, and defense of cost estimates for civil, military, healthcare, educational, and infrastructure projects using government and commercial estimating systems and software platforms. Responsibilities have included Independent Government Estimates (IGE), conceptual and detailed cost analysis, change-order evaluation, schedule review, construction sequencing analysis, resource-loaded schedule evaluation, and support for mediation, claims review, and formal legal proceedings. The expert has also led value engineering studies and policy-development initiatives involving construction procurement, design-build and design-bid-build delivery systems, contractor participation programs, and functional review methodologies for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Additional expertise includes construction claims consulting, constructability review, dispute resolution support, contract negotiation analysis, pay-request review, and evaluation of construction administration practices across multiple delivery methods.

Consulting, instructional, and advisory activities include construction claims consulting for attorneys, continuing education presentations involving construction estimating and project management, and university-level instruction in construction engineering principles, scheduling methods, cost controls, contracting systems, and resource allocation. The expert has also served as an instructor for engineering licensure examination preparation courses involving construction engineering and project management practices. Additional professional activities include leadership of construction engineering training initiatives, development of technical guidance materials, and advisory services involving construction quality management, value engineering, project controls, and facilities coordination. The expert’s background combines federal construction expertise, cost engineering authority, construction claims analysis, and large-scale project oversight involving public infrastructure, healthcare, educational, commercial, residential, and military developments.
