By remaining calm in the eye of the construction storm, Paul is able to continually identify cost savings by circumventing challenges before they happen. He is a tenacious problem-solver who bridges gaps and resolves field condition issues to minimize and eliminate cost and risk to the client.

Over the course of his career, Paul has been involved in the planning, design and construction of a long list of commercial, retail and residential projects including Bank Street College of Education, CNS Programming, Comcast, Concept One, Cumberland Associates, Dylan’s Candy Bar, Glen Cove Marina Development Project Design, Glengariff Senior Facility, J Crew, L’Oreal USA, Long Island University, Lancôme, Matrix, Maybelline, Northwestern Mutual Financial Network and St. Luke’s Women’s Center.

After graduating from the New York Institute of Technology with a five year Bachelor of Architecture degree, Paul earned his Master’s degree from the University of Texas at Arlington. By tapping into this expertise, he is able to look at projects from both the construction and architectural perspectives. Construction schedules are balanced with budget management, while maintaining sensitivity to the architect’s design initiatives. Whether it’s a relocation and decommissioning project, a lease negotiation or a sensitive dispute resolution, Paul’s clients have come to rely on his expert opinion to quickly find solutions where none seem to exist, leading to a project’s timely completion.
