Brandon Mason

Mr. Mason has had decades of experience in the construction industry beginning as a working Superintendent for a small GC based in Arizona.  In 2006, he returned to his home in Watertown, NY to begin work with a GC as a Quality Control Manager.  This role allowed him to gain experience in construction best practices, RFP management, and document coordination while working alongside the Army Corp of Engineers.

After a successful career in Quality Control, he was elevated to the role of PM in Virginia where his experience helped to maintain budgets through accurate cost reporting, maintaining schedules, and limiting change orders through proper document review.  Finally, after years on the road he was able to settle into the role of Preconstruction Manager where he is now able to put all these skills to work through value engineering, budgeting, constructability, and design efforts.

Bad news is not like fine wine, it doesn’t get better with time.
