@dariatuzhikova
I deliver complex construction projects through digital coordination and disciplined execution.
What I'm looking for
I've delivered commercial, residential, federal, and healthcare construction projects across the United States and Puerto Rico. At Venergy Group, I led OAC meetings for a VA hospital project, coordinated design teams and trade partners, and managed schedules, budgets, change orders, and contingencies.
Previously at Suffolk Construction, I supported a project exceeding $100 million from design through closeout, collaborating with engineers, architects, clients, subcontractors, and vendors. I've also managed 15+ trade partners on site, completed takeoffs and estimates, resolved design conflicts, and coached teams on project-management and takeoff software to reduce errors and rework.
I've recently completed a Master's in Global BIM Management and am focused on technology-driven construction delivery, BIM, VDC, and AEC technology.
