Allen Sutherland

Allen joined Braun & Butler Construction as a Superintendent in 2016. He brought with him over 37 years of experience in the construction industry. Besides his extensive background in high-quality interior construction, Allen's attention to detail and remarkable leadership skills significantly contribute to any project. He has in-depth knowledge of project management and hands-on experience with complex data research activities. As a Superintendent, Allen's objective was to control the projects' safety, quality, and short-term schedule. He was responsible for day-to-day on-site field operations. In 2020, Allen shifted roles and became an Estimator. As an Estimator, Allen works closely with the V.P. of Preconstruction Services to provide clients with competitive proposals. His key responsibility is to estimate particular projects' work by gathering subcontractors' bids, construction plans and specifications, and other related documents. He reviews and evaluates cost estimates and communicates with trade partners and team members to fully understand the work scope to bid. Then proposals are prepared in detail to provide the Owner, as required. An essential function for our estimators is to establish and maintain working relationships with vendors and subcontractors to offer the best overall quality at fair market value.
