About Chris Rich

It is not the beauty of a building you should look at; it is the construction of the foundation that will stand the test of time.” ~ David Allan Coe I hold a M.S. in Construction Management and “cut my teeth” through the trades from carpentry to structural concrete. I am currently a Senior Superintendent at Suffolk Construction and have worked on large-scale commercial projects including the Phoenix Sky Train, 40+ story high rises, high-tech manufacturing facilities in excess of 1.2M sq. ft, mixed use developments and infrastructure projects valued at up to $450M. My background includes general contracting, subcontracting, MEP systems, clean room construction, bridges, structural concrete, structural steel, wood framing, exterior envelopes, interiors and above all leadership on the job and in the boardroom. And in keeping with the quote above, my real passion is structural concrete. Chess board strategy; always looking for the better mouse trap while meeting new faces and collaborating with the people around me that make me better, while trying to share my experiences for others to grow. Proficiencies include: Line and Grade Survey, Primavera P6, Public Speaking, Lean Methods, Contract Management, LEED & Green Building, RFIs & RFPs, Pre construction Estimating, BIM, Construction Inspections, Change Orders, Pre Construction Project Planning & Scheduling, Site logistics, Safety Compliance
