ABOUT EDUARDO RAMIREZ

Eduardo received his Bachelor of Arts in Architecture from UNM in 1989, and formed and operated WestWorks Design and Construction Co. for two years before joining the Construction Industries Division as an Architectural Technician (plan reviewer) in 1993. Eduardo received three promotions over the next seven years to become the Assistant to the Director and Commission, and Director of Field Operations.

As Director of Field Operations, Eduardo was responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of 60 CID field inspection staff and four Division Directors, and provided assistance and oversight to 32 municipal building inspection departments and 120 certified field inspectors statewide.

As a certified building code and inspection official, Eduardo managed statewide construction codes and standards determinations and interpretations to field inspectors, architects, engineers, contractors and the general public.  Eduardo also managed and conducted statewide code training sessions and community meeting programs, and was an adjunct professor of Building Codes at the Santa Fe Community College for three years.

Because of his extensive construction codes and standards experience, Eduardo occasionally served as an expert witness while employed with the Construction Industries Division.  He also served as a Hearing Officer on contractor licensing complaints. 

Eduardo left the Construction Industries Division in 2000 to pursue the project and construction management fields.  He gained extensive school design and construction management experience the next nine years as a project and construction manager for Santa Fe Public School District through Harris Consultants, LLC and Gerald Martin Construction Management.  Eduardo managed the pre-construction, bid and construction phases of new and renovation K-12 school projects for Santa Fe Public Schools totaling $44M in construction value. 

Other project and construction management experience includes the two year pre-construction phase of the $14M Santa Fe Railyard Park and Plaza project for The Trust for Public Land, and the pre-construction, bid and initial construction phases of the $38M Steve Herrera Judicial Complex project for Santa Fe County.

Eduardo has a proven ability to facilitate design teams and projects to meet design, schedule and budget goals, and brings that knowledge to his new firm 3CM Construction Management LLC.  3CM Construction Management LLC focuses on project and construction management, general construction, and construction fraud consultation cases in New Mexico and the greater southwest region.
