Accelerated the purchase of an accurate material list timeline to the same day as awarded and protected project margins by ensuring material lists were 98%+ accurate, significantly reducing job site waste.Oversaw full-cycle PMI Process Group implementation, from initial submittals and RFI logs to the finalization of the Schedule of Values.
