Sevda holds the Project Management Professional (PMP) certification through the Project Management Institute (PMI).
♦ PhD - Construction Project Management
♦ M.Arch. - Architecture / Construction Project Management
♦ B.S. - Architectural Engineering / Construction Management
Sevda's strengths are in project management areas, particularly in project planning, scheduling and controls. She's experienced in project planning and start-up, including preparing preliminary budgets, schedule and cash flows; managing the selection process for architects/engineers and other specialty consultants; procurement of prime contractors; coordinating pre-construction phase activities (e.g. value engineering and constructability reviews). Her attention to detail and strong communication skills give her the ability to accurately verify contract compliance in terms of time, cost and scope throughout construction and to effectively communicate her findings in written reports and oral presentations to owner staff, board members, and other stakeholders.
