Rick Wood
Director of Construction
Jim oversees operations for Commence, leading purchasing, permitting and construction activities while motivating his team to produce high-quality homes that are delivered on-budget and on-time.
His team administers the construction of new family homes from lot-clear to Certificates of Occupancy. Throughout the process, Jim works to institute practices that improve efficiencies, decrease permitting times, decrease purchasing costs and optimize construction times.
Jim and his team take a tech-forward, cutting edge approach to construction management, leveraging CrewSuite: proprietary ERM software developed by Commence’s parent company, ODC Construction, LLC. Jim has instituted automated tracking for permitting and construction progress that provides real-time visibility, which empowers his team to practice safe, efficient homebuilding.
A three-decade veteran of residential construction, Jim led homebuilding teams for several large builders prior to joining Commence and ODC.
