About Cory Basta

As a senior construction executive with 30+ years of experience, I provide strategic oversight and leadership across high-profile commercial construction projects ranging from $500K to $20M+. I specialize in full-cycle project delivery—from preconstruction and business development through closeout and warranty—serving as the primary client liaison and internal team lead across all phases.Throughout my career, I’ve built and led high-performing, cross-functional teams through complex construction challenges, driving excellence in budgeting, estimating, value engineering, procurement, scheduling (CPM), risk mitigation, and quality control. My approach emphasizes proactive project management, leveraging real-time data and technology to maintain alignment across stakeholders and consistently deliver on time and under budget.I have a proven track record of building lasting relationships with clients, architects, designers, and trade partners by focusing on transparency, execution, and shared success. My recent projects have focused on high-end interiors for corporate, creative, and technology clients, but my portfolio also includes major work in healthcare, retail, restaurant, and industrial sectors.Now serving in an executive capacity at Rand, I continue to champion a forward-looking, collaborative approach to construction—one that balances strategic vision with boots-on-the-ground leadership.Let’s connect if you’re looking for a trusted partner to lead your next high-impact project.”
