Mid Hudson Construction Management appoints Madison as chief estimator

Poughkeepsie, NY To better serve the Hudson Valley, Mid Hudson Construction Management (MHCM) has appointed James Madison as chief estimator. With more than 35 years in the industry, Madison brings his expertise and knowledge of construction techniques and practices to his new role with the construction firm responsible for many well-known projects in the region.

“Welcoming James to the MHCM family is a perfect move as we expand our reach in the Hudson Valley,” said Ray Travis, president and CEO of Mid Hudson Construction Management. “From our first meeting, James showed his range of experience and dedication to excellence, which will be invaluable as we continue to provide the highest level of service to our clients.”

Previously serving as chief estimator and senior estimator with other firms in the Hudson Valley and Capitol Region – including Gilbane Building Company, Arris Contracting Company and Tishman Construction, among others – Madison has experience providing estimates for new sitework and vertical construction projects as well as interior and exterior renovations. His background and training in the Critical Path Method (CPM) and ability to collaborate with architects, consultants, and municipalities will help MHCM deliver projects on time and within budget, as he leads the pre-construction phases of clients’ projects.

“Having James on board in this leadership position has also driven the reconstruction of our in-house estimating team, positioning MHCM for continued success as a top construction management firm in the Hudson Valley,” said Scott Travis, vice president and COO of Mid Hudson Construction Management.

Madison is a Certified Professional Estimator with the American Society of Professional Estimators, certified in building construction management from New York University, and is in the process of becoming a Design-Build Institute of America associate. He also holds OSHA program certifications.

In addition to his professional achievements, Madison reflects the MHCM team’s commitment to community service. A resident of Ulster County, he serves on the Academic Advisory Committee for Architectural and Construction Technologies at Dutchess Community College and previously held the position of Vice Chairman of Habitat for Humanity’s Ulster County chapter.
