"Ricardo Becerril is not an average construction manager. He is far above average because he understands well the management concepts needed for CM work and what it means to "join" the owners team. Additionally he has a management style that works well with the A/E team, and maximizes the work of the construction subcontractors. He displays above average communication skills and computer skills which greatly benefit the client. I worked with Ricardo on a project where he met regularly with city and county regulators, and with other projects stakeholders to negotiate mutually beneficial outcomes and keep the project moving forward. He also facilitated aggressive value engineering and fast track scheduling efforts that turned the new school building into a successful project. I would strongly recommend Ricardo Becerril for any senior level position in the arena of construction management."|
