Meet Katt

Meet Katt, a rising senior at Lindenwood, who’s spending her summer working with PARIC’s preconstruction team.  

“Working with the preconstruction team has shown me just how critical estimating is in the world of general contracting. I was surprised by how essential relationship-building is for maintaining strong partnerships with owners and subcontractors and for securing future work. Without a reliable and transparent estimating team, it would be extremely difficult for PARIC to win new projects through the proposal process.  

Visiting the Protoplex project at Missouri University of Science and Technology with the preconstruction team was valuable experience.  It was fascinating to see how PARIC’s active projects are progressing. Observing how on-site changes are managed gave me great insight into the dynamic nature of construction and increased my awareness of considerations for future bids within the preconstruction department. 

This internship has also taught me the importance of being a sponge by absorbing as much new information as possible because every day brings new learning opportunities at PARIC.”
