With over eight years of experience in construction management and dispute resolution, Mr. Trevino has developed a robust skill set in construction quantum, damages, and the standard of care. His career has been shaped by a deep understanding of the complexities within the construction industry and a proven ability to provide expert solutions for claims analysis.
Mr. Trevino began his career in construction by applying lean construction methodologies to improve project efficiency, optimize delivery, and minimize waste. He then transitioned into structural design for complex mixed-use developments, where he applied these principles to ensure projects were completed on time and within budget. Prior to joining Secretariat, he further honed his project management skills, working on behalf of a general contractor on a large-scale, multibillion-dollar design-build project in Texas. This heavy civil infrastructure project exposed him to a wide range of challenges, from managing cost overruns to overseeing project controls.
At Secretariat, Mr. Trevino’s expertise expanded into dispute resolution, particularly around construction claims, cost overruns, and project controls on a variety of infrastructure and commercial construction projects. His role involves working closely with legal teams to assess and resolve complex disputes.
