Tom Beebe

...

My construction management experience is built on a background of hands-on multi-trade construction work, leading to designing, building, teaching and consulting in the residential and commercial construction industry.

I've applied my construction experience both domestically and internationally in the field of disaster response and recovery. I started with 5 years of domestic disaster zone deployments with FEMA.

I worked as a paid consultant for All Hands and Hearts, one of the larger global recovery and reconstruction organizations, I provided training and capacity building in the processes of pre-construction planning and project management for the construction of schools.

As a paid consultant, I also managed a regional earthquake recovery program for the reconstruction of 67 rural schools in Nepal, for a well known global charity called Room to Read.

In Texas, I started up and managed a residential recovery construction program following Hurricane Harvey, on behalf of one of the oldest and largest NGOs in the United States, Volunteers of America. The program was successful and attracted three additional grants the first year, at greater than 5 times the original start up budget.

I've also worked domestically and internationally in private sector construction, I've managed diverse construction projects, including a high-end ground-up residential estate in Hilo, Hawai'i, a boutique retail interior on Broadway in New York City, pre-construction for a beach resort development in East Africa, construction and renovation of bank offices, branches and offsite ATM facilities in East Africa, and of course smaller projects like high-rise and commercial fitouts, restaurant remodels, custom industrial projects, and extensive residential design-build work in Seattle, Portland and San Francisco.
