What are you working on? "Managing a construction business with a great portfolio of projects, working with terrific customers, mentoring a growing, talented team of construction professionals and launching our Madison office."
How does the market look to you? "Southeastern Wisconsin is enjoying a very active market. There is activity across nearly every sector. In addition, we’re seeing an increased number of large projects with complex challenges. The health care, hospitality, corporate, mixed use facilities, retail, higher education, R&D and technology markets are thriving."
What was the best deal you’ve ever been involved in? "We were working with a local developer in response to a request for proposals to construct a corporate office building. The project needed to be designed and constructed in a very aggressive six-month timeframe. Not only did we meet the schedule, but the owner was extremely happy with the overall Mortenson experience, and we were able to meet all of our success criteria."
