Paul has a rcord of completing the most challenging jobs within schedule and within budget.

Coordinating closely with ownership and CHA’s design teams, while managing crews on up to ten concurrent projects, Paul’s organization and ability to work through challenges enabled him to excel in a challenging program of projects.
