about larry

I am a seasoned business and construction expert with multiple stints at the vice president and president levels. I am currently offering consulting services having recently left Main and Main as their VP of Construction for over 7 years. 

I have some considerable experience in the development and construction fields as well as some other somewhat diverse but, complimentary areas. I have an undergraduate degree from U of T and graduated from Ryerson in Structural Engineering. I have extensive construction project management experience building condos, hotels and office complexes. I have also built some townhouse complexes and a handful of luxury homes. I started at the bottom with Greenwin, learned all aspects of the development, construction and maintenance fields and know well the need for building "On Time AND On Budget". I ultimately rose to the level of Vice President of Construction at Hanson Developments before going into the manufacturing business on my own. So, I am quite capable of supervising and managing at all levels. 

I am an expert at multi-tasking, have a high level of common sense and an extraordinary ability to prioritize and organize. I also have a talent for writing documents including commercial leases, training manuals, contracts, work scopes, advertisements and more. Plus, I am a good public speaker, adept in communicating details so that they are clearly understood and an excellent negotiator as well. Additionally, I have a strong traditional work ethic, superior communication skills, a savvy business acumen and a keen attention for details. In fact, I have rather anal tendencies when it comes to maintaining quality levels. Lastly, I have a considerable amount of legal experience particularly in the area of preparing construction cases for litigation,…as well as knowing how to avoid legal problems. I am in excellent health and enjoy playing tennis and waterskiing. 

As I’m sure that you can imagine, I've garnered a wealth of knowledge, expertise and ability in (particularly) construction over many decades and I'm in a position to save developers millions! I know how to reduce extras and can provide huge value from instituting better drawing coordinating processes to drafting Scopes of Work and contracts (for CMs, consultants, subcontractors, etc). My services are available under any guise from part time to more and from mentorship/lecturing to hands-on consulting, problem solving and direction.
