What I bring to complex capital delivery

The build-side reference checklist, pre-construction through handover.

Pre-construction & estimating

Drawing and spec review, MEP and structural coordination, value engineering, GMP strategy, bid packages, and scope validation. Built Shopify’s pre-construction process from zero, with estimating experience across $3M to $1.5B pursuits.

GC pre-qualification, RFP and ITB development, bid leveling, scope normalization, contract strategy, and long-lead vendor management across GMP, lump sum, CM-at-risk, and design-assist delivery models.

Cost & change-order governance

Budgets by division, SOVs, pay-app review, contingency control, forecast-to-complete reporting, PCO-to-CO governance, variance analysis, and executive-level cost reporting.

Commissioning & closeout

Systems commissioning, TCO and CO, as-builts, O&M manuals, warranties, owner training, MUA balancing, BMS, life safety, deficiency management, and operational handover.

PM team & delivery systems

Built and scaled Shopify’s PM team and PMP-aligned governance through 400% growth, including delivery standards, playbooks, reporting, risk registers, project controls, and executive visibility.
