About Jeff Benevides

CONSTRUCTION PROFESSIONAL As a proven Construction Leader, I have spent my career pushing the limits of “hands-on” work. Through over two decades of progressive project management roles, I gained an in-depth understanding of all aspects of the construction lifecycle. Whether I’m managing projects’ financial health from the office or travelling to worksites to oversee an in-progress build, I am ready to jump in at a moment’s notice to navigate the work, guide improvements, or solve logistical problems. Key Strengths:⇨ Professional Network: I bring an extensive portfolio of relationships with all disciplines of contractors, vendors, permitting agencies, raw materials brokers, and—most importantly—a large book of satisfied clients in the Northeast U.S.⇨ Process Improvement: I am always looking for opportunities to work more efficiently, cost-effectively, or profitably. CLIENT RELATIONSHIP MANAGER Managing the design-build process is only half of the equation. To turn clients’ vision into reality, cultivating strong professional relationships can be more important. From the earliest stages of a new project, I am a guide to our clients to capture their most important goals and maintain constant contact through the multi-year process. Key Strengths:⇨ Negotiation: I know how to deliver win/win outcomes not just for my clients, but also for our bottom line. ⇨ Quality Focus: I draw on my architectural background to assess quality performance at every stage of the operation and measure it against an incredibly high standard. This commitment has allowed me to overcome steep competition and win repeat engagements.
