Summary

With over 10 years of experience in construction, I have worked as a Foreman at Victoria Construction, leading teams in residential and commercial projects across Ontario.

In 2024, I was responsible for framing on a 42-unit building at 841 Granon St. I also managed the metal framing and facade replacement during the renovation of Donald Plaza for RioCan and oversaw framing, drywall, and taping for the Boston Pizza in Renfrew. Additionally, we worked on the fencing for the Ottawa O-train system, ensuring structural integrity and compliance with safety regulations.

Since 2021, I have been collaborating with Dicon Construction Inc., specializing in framing and backframing across various Claridge Homes sites, including Spring Valley Trail, Watters Pointe, Iron Valley, Rivers Edge, and Copper Wood. This experience has strengthened my ability to identify and resolve structural issues efficiently, optimize workflow with different trades, and ensure all work meets city inspection standards.

In 2023, I held a contract with O'Reilly Brothers Ltd for the installation of insulation and vapor barriers, ensuring energy efficiency and compliance with building codes.

From 2019 to 2021, I worked on backframing for Spadaccini Carpentry, contributing to multiple projects for Minto, Urbandale, and Richcraft, further refining my expertise in precision framing and construction coordination.

My extensive experience in framing, backframing, insulation installation, residential and commercial renovations, and project management has given me a deep understanding of construction workflows and problem-solving strategies. I am highly skilled in overseeing complex projects, coordinating teams, and ensuring timely project completion while maintaining high safety and quality standards.
