PROFESSIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS
JACKSON FONTENOT CONSTRUCTION COMPANY 2008 - 2010
General Superintendent Monroe, LA
Jackson Fontenot is a privately owned commercial construction company specializ
ing in street and bridge construction as well as municipal, public works project
s. The company also has its own framing and drywall division that allows them to
diversify as a subcontractor on many of the major tenant improvement projects,
Proposed a site logistics and daily operations plan to the City and Airport offi
cials at the Monroe Municipal Airport project. Due to the high volume of airplan
es and ground traffic, I presented a plan for approval from the city and airport
officials on site deliveries, manpower control, hours of operation, pour schedu
les, site debris and dust control etc. All of which were critical issues in main
taining a safe and controlled jobsite. Results: Upon approval the highly visible
Airport project was completed ahead of schedule and under budget. The project w
as also recognized by the City of Monroe, LA for its due diligence for not disru
pting the normal operations of the airport. Note: The Monroe Municipal Airport c
ontract amount was $12 million. I managed and supervised 75+ men and women, comp
leting the project 3 months ahead of schedule saving our company over $120,000.

Superintendent New Orleans, LA
Ellis Construction is a privately owned General Contracting firm specializing in
ground-up and tenant improvement projects. Ellis played an instrumental role in
aBring Back New Orleansa projects after Hurricane Katrina. As site superintende
nt I was responsible for all field operations.
Proposed more effective sequence of operation for apartment construction project
. Disagreed with pre-construction decision of project manager and owner to backf
ill the site to elevation before digging the pile caps and footings. I presented
compelling arguments for first digging the pile caps and footings, then backfil
ling. This prevented soil contamination, earth cave-ins and challenges in pourin
g the caps. Results: Digging the caps and footings before backfilling cut (3) we
eks off the schedule and saved over $40,000 during this phase of the project. No
te: The Wisdom Manor Project contract amount was $7 million. I supervised 85 men
and women to complete the ground-up project in 13 months.

s Angeles, CA. Specializing in ground-up and tenant improvement projects with e
stimated annual revenues of $50 million dollars in sales each year. As project s
ite Superintendent I was responsible for handling all field operations ranging f
rom site logistics to final close-out packages .Some of the notable architects I
ave worked with on some of our major T.I. projects were Gensler-LA, ,Beckson Des
ign and, Area Design. to name a few all of which won Caliber Awards for outstand
ing design.
Superintendent, Houston, TX (2004 - 2006)
Proposed and presented a detail change to maximize the height of Television Stud
io ceiling at the Univision project. Established a SK (drawing) showing the ceil
ing joist spread apart to accommodate the installation of the A/C duct work and
sprinkler system. I coordinated a meeting with the structural engineer to calcul
ate the load design with the new spacing of the joist along with the sub-contrac
tors, architects and our team. Results: The new design was accepted by the engi
neer of record which resulted in being able to build the ceiling to its original
design criteria. This saved the owner thousands of dollars in re-design costs,
sub-contractors cost for re-configuring duct work, sprinkler re-design and frami
ng cost. Note: The Univision Project contract amount was $35 million. I supervis
ed 125+ men and women and completed the project in 14 months.
Superintendent, Los Angeles, CA (1992 - 2004)
Prepared an escalated schedule to allow the United Methodist Church to start int
erior work sooner than indicated on the master schedule. Upon establishing an u
pdated schedule I coordinated a site meeting with the sub-contractor, architect,
owner and our team. I presented the comprehensive schedule in detail to show we
could meet the owneras deadline. The schedule I proposed showed moving the carp
enters working on the retrofitted columns on the inside and outside of the build
ing simultaneously move all the manpower to the interior. Results: The propose
d idea was agreed upon by all parties. As a result the crews were able to comple
te the columns on the interior before the church own contractors needed to get i
n to complete their scope of work. This solution helped avoid any change orders
to the owner. Note: The Methodist Church Project contract amount was 23 million
dollars. I supervised 65+ men and women and completed the project in 11 months.

wing) to submit to the architect, Structural Engineer and construction team. Aft
er consulting with the engineer and design team I coordinated a meeting with the
engineer of record, architect, sub-contractor and our team to present the propo
sed solution. Results: The new proposed method of attachment was accepted by th
e engineer which brought the cost of the installation down by approximately $75k
