Holds a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from UT Rio Grande Valley, and joined CGC as an engineering intern and estimator before moving into project management.

James Longoria Construction Supervisor

Runs day-to-day operations on site and controls the short-term schedule. Supervises subcontractors directly — inspecting work, holding the line on quality, coordinating responsibilities, and catching conflicts in the field before they cause delays. Reads and coordinates drawings, specs, and shop drawings, keeps the site safe, and reports schedule, material, manpower, and quality issues straight to the project management team.

CO
Claudia Oviedo Office Manager

Runs the day-to-day office and accounting side of the business — proposals, reports, and lien waivers, plus accounts payable and receivable in QuickBooks. Prepares weekly and monthly billing and financial statements, handles AIA payment applications, tracks project budgets, manages work orders, and sources materials and supplies. Keeps every project's paperwork and vendor invoices filed and current.
