About André L.

Keep creating and always share!”19 years ago, I discovered my passion for engineering—a journey that has taken me through startups, energy, and construction projects across multiple regions. Today, as a Preconstruction professional in the Southwest, I combine technical expertise with strategic insight to deliver accurate, data-driven estimates that strengthen teams, projects, and communities.Guided by engineers, executives, and mentors, I’ve developed a strong foundation in value engineering, cost planning, and lifecycle budgeting. My experience spans field operations and office environments, where I’ve led estimating efforts, optimized workflows, and supported design-build and CMAR delivery to achieve efficiency and client satisfaction.With a B.S. in Business and a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, I bring both analytical and business perspectives to every challenge. I’ve contributed to organizations in supply chain, finance, and operations, leveraging ERP systems and Six Sigma methodology to reduce costs and improve accuracy. Having collaborated across diverse teams and cultures, I take pride in adaptability, creativity, and fostering respectful, high-performing environments.Now based in the Southwest region, I work closely with design and construction partners to plan, budget, and execute complex projects that positively impact the economy, community, and thousands of lives.After God, family, and people’s freedom, personal growth remains my top priority. I’m driven to innovate, lead with purpose, and help others achieve their best.Key HighlightsSenior Estimator / Preconstruction Specialist – Conceptual estimating, design-assist, and design-build experience.Value Engineering & Cost Optimization – Skilled in cost modeling, risk analysis, and lifecycle costing.Mechanical Engineering Foundation – Deep understanding of building systems and constructabilityStartup & Corporate Experience – Proven leadership in fast-paced, growth-oriented environments3D Modeling / BIM – Proficient in SolidWorks and collaborative digital workflowsERP & Data Systems – Experienced with estimating and enterprise resource planning toolsSupply Chain, Finance & Operations – Strategic focus on cost control and efficiencySix Sigma Certified – Process improvement and waste reduction expertiseLanguages – Native Portuguese, fluent English, learning SpanishInnovation-Driven Leader – Passionate about technology, drones, and continuous improvement
