Leading the pre-construction and design coordination efforts as relates to Interstates ongoing lean initiative and prefabrication process for all of the Conn. based construction projects.

What was your most notable project, deal, or transaction in 2017? The design and construction of a state of the art Nisource Training Center. This 38,000 s/f facility that houses real on the job hazards, leak scenarios, simulation stations, gas fires, and heavy equipment simulators. This project from design to completion had a rigorous schedule and multiple delays due to site conditions, yet Interstate’s portion of the project was successfully delivered to the owners satisfaction in the timeframe allocated

What are your predictions for commercial real estate in 2018? The market looks to be on the downside the last 30-60 days and with the budget issues and state deficit things don’t look promising.
