LeChase Construction Services has added Edward Kaufmann as a project manager in its Southeast region, strengthening project management capacity as contractors continue to navigate complex construction schedules, cost controls and workforce requirements.
Based in Durham, North Carolina, Kaufmann will manage assigned projects across the preconstruction, construction and post-construction phases. His responsibilities include overseeing safety, construction planning and cost-control procedures, as well as coordinating the broader functions required to deliver projects.
Kaufmann brings more than 15 years of construction industry experience. His background spans commercial, industrial, federal and multifamily projects, including work ranging from commercial renovations to large-scale industrial developments.
Kaufmann's experience across several market segments gives LeChase additional project management expertise as the company's Southeast operations serve a range of construction needs.
Managing projects from early planning through completion requires coordination of budgets, schedules, safety requirements, subcontractors and other project stakeholders. Experience across different project types can help construction managers address varying procurement, sequencing and delivery requirements.
His background also includes service in the U.S. Marine Corps, adding another layer of organizational and leadership experience to his construction career.
For construction owners and developers, LeChase's appointment reflects the continuing importance of experienced project managers who can coordinate multiple phases of project delivery while maintaining control over safety, schedule and costs. As construction activity remains distributed across commercial, industrial, federal and multifamily markets, experienced professionals with cross-sector backgrounds can provide contractors with greater operational flexibility.
