I am familiar with various project management platforms and software, and try to support all jobs within their existing software and communication networks. I can offer drawing PDFs with notes and color-coding for specific trades as part of the estimate. I continue to look ways to improve knowledge of materials, procedure, project assessment, and other ways to ensure the best possible construction support service. I highly value presentation, accuracy, and ongoing project support.
