We know that building a great project starts well before construction ever kicks off. It begins in preconstruction, where strategy, collaboration, and smart planning set the stage for success. That’s where our estimating team really shines.
Our estimators act as trusted advisors who understand how construction works, what the market is doing, and what matters most to our clients. They are always thinking a few steps ahead, finding creative ways to tackle challenges, and shaping estimates that reflect real conditions and long-term goals.
A big part of that approach comes from the tools we use. With ConCntric, a collaborative preconstruction platform, we tap into historical data from past projects to benchmark costs, track trends, and guide smarter decisions. This gives our team the ability to build estimates that are not only accurate but grounded in experience and real-time market insights.
“These days, owners are not just looking for a number, they are looking for a partner who can help shape the project from the beginning,” says Greg Garland, Director of Preconstruction. “That is where our team comes in. We are thoughtful, strategic, and always thinking ahead to make sure we are adding value long before construction starts.”
As our team continues to grow and take on exciting new opportunities across the country, we are excited to welcome two new team members who bring that same mindset.
Tim Le recently joined our Westmont office as a Senior Estimator. He brings more than 15 years of experience across public, private, residential, commercial, and federal projects. A graduate of Arizona State University, Tim has led complex estimating efforts and brings a strategic, detail-focused approach to every job.
Amanda Rusin also joins our estimating group as an Estimator, supporting projects in commercial, higher education, and healthcare markets. With experience as both a subcontractor and general contractor in the Chicagoland area, Amanda brings a well-rounded perspective and strong field knowledge that help shape accurate, informed estimates.
Tim and Amanda join our Illinois team alongside Greg Garland and Tim Karl bringing fresh perspective to an already strong group. In Indiana, Chris Savoia and Francisco Del Rio lead the way, working closely with local teams to deliver competitive, market-driven proposals that support our continued growth in the region.
Our preconstruction team works seamlessly with our restoration and building teams, creating a powerhouse collaboration that sets our project up for success on day one.
