Good day As advertised I would like to apply for the position as advertised. I feel this would suit my skills and my experience. My business acumen will benefit any company that is looking to be more profitable and complete work with the quality still being number one. I am at the moment working in Cape Town CBD on the New Sky Hotel(Formally the Metropolitan building) As indicated in my CV I have had both experience in working for a company and owning a company. Over the years I have developed a way of communicating with both internal staff ,the appointed engineers and the client to create at the end of the day a project that is both cost effective for all parties and that the project is done with the best quality that one can be done for each project and can be used as an example and reference for work completed. I like to be hands on and believe that costing is the basis of all construction projects so that one is able to highlight problem areas as soon as possible so that brainstorming can be done by all parties affected and a solution to either change the way the job in question is carried out or the method of execution of the job is done I also believe in monthly cost meetings whereby costs are analyzed on each contract and cash flow projections going forward are used to also see what cash flow is required for either machines that need to be hired or bought and also any materials that need to be sourced I have also been involved with contract claims relating to engineers not using the correct interpretation of the contract document or specification and changing the scope of works during construction. Claims can be successfully lodged as long as all paperwork is in place be it notification to claim or the quantum of the claim that is to be submitted I am also very proficient in using Candy software or CCS for tendering, programming and valuations during the construction phase and also the application of Microsoft project. I have managed to get my experience(RPL) credited with the same points as a normal degree at Arden University in the UK and are in the process of doing my Masters degree(MSC) in project management through them and hoping to have this complete by the end of http://www.******.*** degree is done online and my student no is STU55239. Hoping that the above meets with your requirements Regards Dave Norman
