Experience:
With 39 years of Construction Management Services experience, Mr. Downey has performed a range of pre-construction, construction phase, and post-construction services on a broad range of projects, each with its own set of challenges and different project delivery methods. As a senior-level construction executive, Mr. Downey oversees the project team to ensure on-time, on-budget project delivery. With extensive local government and private sector construction background, his participation and leadership greatly reduce an owner’s project risk. Risks that, if not identified upfront, can negatively impact a project through costly change orders, claims, delays, and cost overruns.
A trusted construction advisor within the industry, Mr. Downey will only deem a project successful when the client’s vision has been achieved. His unique perspective reflects a four-year term as an elected member of the Board of Supervisors and another as an elected member of the School Board in Fauquier County, allowing him better to understand the needs of both public and private sectors. Previous to becoming a principal, Mr. Downey worked with regionally recognized constructors, Chas. H. Tomkins Company, Sabre Construction Corporation, and Chamberlain Construction Corporation. His skills, derived from within the industry, add critical depth to the team.
