About Aishwarya Parmar

With extensive experience in project controls, cost management, and preconstruction services, I specialize in delivering large-scale infrastructure, federal, and healthcare projects across the U.S. and Caribbean. Currently, I lead cost estimating, risk management, procurement planning, and CPM scheduling on projects exceeding $50M, including the U.S. Embassy Consular Affairs Reconfiguration & Utility Improvements in Kingston, Jamaica, NIH infrastructure projects, and DC PLUG undergrounding feeders.My core competencies include cost estimating, budgeting and forecasting, schedule development, contract administration, and risk analysis. I have authored detailed GMP proposals, RFPs, and cost models; led subcontractor bid leveling and negotiations; and developed conditions of success for design-build and alternative delivery projects. By integrating robust cost control systems with proactive risk management, I have consistently driven budget alignment, financial accountability, and value engineering outcomes.Previously, at Blythe Construction, I supported preconstruction efforts for major transportation and mixed-use developments, including Ballantyne Reimagined ($350M) and I-485 East John Street ($350M). I also bring hands-on field exposure from site visits, bid evaluations, and takeoff analysis.In addition, I have contributed to research on power infrastructure resiliency and maintenance planning, analyzing the socioeconomic impacts of utility disruptions using ArcGIS.My mission is to leverage my negotiation skills, decision making skills, analytical mindset, collaborative leadership, and technical expertise to optimize project delivery, reduce cost and schedule risks, and support client objectives across diverse infrastructure and building sectors.
