Arturo Lora began his career in construction 14 years ago as a Mason Tender at Morse Diesel/AMEC. He worked his way up to Mason Tender Forman. In 2004 he joined John Gallin & Son as a Mason Tender. In 2011 Arturo was promoted to Superintendent — a position that has allowed him to work enthusiastically with clients. Arturo also continues to develop his knowledge in construction and enforcing safety in the field.

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
As Superintendent, Arturo coordinates the day-to-day operations of the job in the field. He ensures that the project adheres to the highest professional standards and is completed on time and on budget. He also serves as a liaison to the client and the architect, providing them with frequent progress reports. Arturo starts each project by reviewing the construction drawings to pinpoint potential problems. He schedules the subcontractors, organizes the trades and makes sure that the correct materials are on hand. When Arturo isn’t walking the site to check on progress, he’s on the phone talking with his subcontractors and suppliers in an effort to head off potential problems before they can create delays. Arturo understands that earning the client’s implicit trust is vital to the success of a project. To that end, he goes out of his way to maintain open lines of communication and position himself as an integral part of the client’s team — a hallmark of Gallin service.
