MEMORANDUM

TO: MAC WARE

FROM: RON RHODES

SUBJECT: INTERNSHIP PROPOSAL

DATE: 11/5/2013

For my internship requirement I have been working at B&B Contractors and Developers in Youngstown, Ohio. B&B is a general contractor that specializes in development, commercial, and industrial construction. My supervisors name is Paul Mirage. Paul is a project manager with B&B and can be reached by phone at the office at 330-270-5020 or by email at pmirage@bbcdonline.com. The work that I do takes place in their office located at 2781 Salt Springs Road, Youngstown, Ohio 44509.

For my internship I work with Paul by doing whatever he needs done. My duties range from doing take-offs, to looking at schedules, making phone calls, going to pick things up, and anything else that needs done in the office. I also go along with him when he goes to job sites. Last summer I attended weekly jobsite meeting at a project at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Youngstown. Last summer I also went down every other week to a mall project in St. Clairsville. This summer I go to a jobsite in Villa Maria Pennsylvania. Another thing that I do is update plans and label the changes as new revisions come in.

With this internship I hope to gain experience in the field and improve my communication skills. I have learned a lot in the field just by talking to different people that have a wide variety of experiences in the field. I have also learned how to run a project meeting by sitting in on some. I improved my communication skills by talking to people in the field and calling sub-contractors to ask whether or not they were bidding on a project and answering questions that they had.

To complete my hours I worked both last summer and this summer. Last summer, I completed about 230 hours of the 400 hour required and this summer I am completing the rest. I started working here at the beginning of last summer and will be finishing up my work here in July 26th, 2013.
