Workplace Principles . . .
It's
no accident that our company is smaller than most of our competitors'.
That's because we've chosen to keep it lean and mean. In our opinion,
having a large organization just enables other firms to do more work.
Entrusting our reputation to a few carefully chosen, highly qualified
and experienced team members enables us to do better work. Like
many companies, we could tell you that collectively, we have more than
150 years of experience in the building industry. It's true. But
wouldn't you rather know how long each of our employees has been in the
building trades? Our management and administrative staff average more
than 24 years of industry experience, with almost a decade as team
members of Monroe Construction. Experienced Principals at the HelmDoug
Weitz, President, personally oversees all aspects of the company's
operations. A licensed general contractor with over 30 years'
experience in construction management, real estate development and
property management, he holds a masters degree in business
administration with an emphasis on real estate and construction
management from the University of Denver. Before establishing Monroe
Construction, Doug directed construction for a major property
management company, overseeing all design, budgeting, and construction
of tenant improvements and building renovations. He also was the real
estate investments manager for a savings and loan association where, in
addition to managing the major loan department, he directed the
development, planning and construction of branch offices. Doug's broad
perspective and personal experience in dealing with a full range of
property types account for his exceptional ability to find innovative
solutions to difficult, project-related problems.
Frank
Pecora, Vice President, joined Monroe Construction shortly after it was
founded. He provides a strong link between the office and the field. A
skilled craftsman from Cleveland, Frank started out in the building
industry over 30 years ago as an apprentice carpenter. Before joining
Monroe, he was the superintendent of a tenant improvement contracting
company and a project manager for a construction company specializing
in retail tenant improvements. His hands-on experience in the trades,
coupled with a command of administrative detail - ranging from plan
review and permit processing to the hiring and supervision of
subcontractors and other personnel - make him a critical member of our
management team. Key Team Members
