About Dave Heric
Most challenges in commercial construction aren’t created in the field - they’re created earlier, when real estate strategy, design intent, and execution aren’t fully aligned.As Director of Strategy & Growth at KDC Construction, my role is to help translate commercial real estate and construction insight into clearer decisions, stronger alignment, and more efficient project execution.Having worked for both a general contractor and a national commercial real estate developer, I’ve seen projects from multiple sides of the table. That perspective gives me a practical understanding of the full lifecycle of an asset, from early planning and capital considerations through design, construction, and delivery.I apply that experience to support KDC’s growth strategy, improve internal processes, and help position the firm in a way that resonates with owners, developers, architects, engineers, and partners - because it reflects how projects actually get built.I value thoughtful collaboration, early engagement, and long-term relationships built on credibility and execution.Operational Excellence & Efficiency, and Risk Management • Executive Leadership, Team Building, and Cross-Functional Collaboration • Capital Improvements • P&L Management, Budgeting, and Financial Oversight • Procurement, Mergers, Acquisitions, and Strategic Resource Allocation • KPI Development, Performance Tracking, and Compliance Management • Sales Growth, Revenue Optimization, and Market Expansion • Business Development, Partnerships, and Strategic Alliances • Negotiations, Contract Management, and Deal Structuring • CRM Systems, Sales Tools, and Sales Pipelines • Competitive Market Analysis and Strategic Planning • Strategic Leadership and Vision • Brand Positioning and Reputation Management • Digital Transformation and Innovation • Customer/Client Experience and Data-Driven Insights • Communication and Stakeholder Relations
