Elena Keung
Elena began her career as a Project Engineer in a leading engineering and construction services company working on building upgrades and exterior envelope restoration for New York City public schools. Elena quickly learned that managing the quality of work within the accelerated school construction schedule requires extreme attention to detail and precise assessment of the early procurement and coordination activities. She learned that despite the short summer timeframe for physical construction, safety practices should never be compromised.
Elena then worked for an ENR top-ranked construction management firm where her roles varied from Site Superintendent to Cost Estimator working on high-end corporate interior construction. With a results-driven approach, she honed her problem-solving skills in tackling technical issues of design and construction both on the jobsite and on paper. Her professional experiences over the years have given her significant insights into the industry’s best practices and the notion that estimating is more of an art than a science because the valuation of a construction project is not simply the sum of its parts. In her role as President, she focuses on those elements that drive a project’s success, always seeking to uncover their significance to the larger whole.
Elena holds a Master of Science Degree in Real Estate Finance from New York University, a Bachelor of Science Degree in Civil Engineering from Polytechnic University, and a LEED Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
