Tackling a new area of the business for South Pointe as the Sr. Project Manager Gavin will lead our efforts for the development of Hidden Hills in Temecula CA. where we are planning to build 17 custom homes. Having previously worked to evaluate the internal processes at South Pointe and with his team strives to improve the systems and processes to maximize efficiency on the office side of operations so that the field side can move forward as smoothly as possible. He connects with vendors and subcontractors to work on pricing and maintains communications between all parties. He ensures a completely developed plan for the field.

He also is tasked with helping and training the team members in using and understanding the operational software, “BuilderTrend.” The software allows users to know what is happening on the various job-sites. Gavin understands that the software is only as good as the input; therefore, he makes certain that the most accurate information is inputted and reinforces the use of it.

A graduate of BYU-Idaho, Gavin received a degree in construction management in 2008 and was recruited right out of college by a large southern California commercial construction company. It was a large, very corporate enviroment. It was a good job, but Gavin wanted to do something different with a smaller company and play a part in a concern that would grow. South Pointe was a perfect fit.

Once introduced to southern California, he says he fell in love with the beautiful weather and the beach, where he and his family go as often as possible. He is a novice surfer and likes mountain biking. His other favorite pastime is technology. “I like taking the time to figure it out and how to implement it.” Someday he’d like to spend more free time getting into music, but for now, he loves his work and the great group of people with whom he works.

“The favorite part of my job is the team,” he said. “I’d be happy with this group of people if we were selling cardboard boxes!”
