PROJECT MANAGER: Farro Construction, Inc., Springfield, VA
As a Construction Project Manager I complete the projects from inception to completion. I apply
to bid jobs by attending bid meetings with other applicants, as I am handed a package we do a
walk-through of the area(s) that need to be remodeled or built out. I then complete a proposal
that includes but is not limited to what is needed for a particular job such as: cost for the number
of laborers, dumpsters, cost of materials, and the collected cost information from sub contractors
and the schedule. I then submit the package to the specifications. Here are a few detailed
