Background

About David Crane

Prior to emigrating to Canada 1994, I worked for a large civil engineering contractor working on major infrastructure projects located throughout the United Kingdom. Upon arrival to Canada, I began working for a national construction cost consulting firm located in Ottawa as an Intermediate Quantity Surveyor / Estimator, ultimately progressing in the company to the position of Vice President of operations in the Prairies. During my working life with this firm I lived and worked not only in Ottawa, but also in Edmonton, Winnipeg and today in Calgary. I have a vast amount of project and construction cost expertise, and not only have first hand understanding of the Southern Alberta and Calgary construction marketplace but also a detailed understanding of construction markets located throughout Manitoba, Saskatchewan and the rest of Alberta. My appreciation and on-the-ground experience of these construction markets has proven time after time my ability to maximize any budget as well as add value for every dollar spent on a project and reduce the risk of project failure. Over the years I have advised and guided numerous clients through difficult markets ensuring project success regardless of size and complexity. My involvement regardless of size and complexity of a project is of a ‘hands on’ role regardless of task, I am accountable for ensuring all service quality, accuracy, and on‐time delivery of every task. I am also responsible for ensuring that all objectives are clearly understood and ultimately attained, ensure adherence to all service schedules and deadlines, I will also conduct internal peer reviews of all deliverables prior to issuance, and attend all key project meetings as necessary. I am unique in the cost consulting industry having been exposed to numerous types of projects located throughout the Prairies.
