Dear Sir,
I am applying with great interest for a Construction Consulting contract or empl
oyee position with your organization.
After nearly thirty years of diverse experience spanning nearly all facets of th
e construction industry, I embarked upon a consulting venture specializing in de
veloping strategies and solutions for projects that are deeply behind schedule o
r over budget. I have worked both with General Contractors who have chosen to s
elf-perform following the failure of one or more subcontractors as well as for o
wners who have found themselves boxed in by the failure of their General Contrac
tor. In either scenario, I have taken on projects that were faced with imminent
, catastrophic failure, and in which serious financial constraints were further
complicated by the rigid schedule demands of investors or bonding agencies who w
anted to limit the scope of their losses.
I have been successful in finding optimal solutions through a combination of obs
ervation/analysis of work flows, strategic allocation of material and manpower,
careful review of project requirements, and development of realistic plans/sched
ules. I have also demonstrated skills both in developing and utilizing employee
skills to their fullest potential, and in designing forms and systems to stream
line documentation and enhance efficiency.
I have extensive experience and training in carpentry along with broad expertise
in concrete work and the various trades involved in both wood frame and steel f
rame construction. I also have an educational background in construction manage
ment supported by a solid foundation of software skills.
I am confident that my skills and experience will provide a valuable asset to yo
ur operations. I have enclosed a copy of my resume, and would be happy to provi
de references or any additional information upon your request.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to meeting with you s
oon.
Respectfully,

Wade Peebles
