Our Story

In 2005, after returning from his tour of duty in Iraq, Adler Bernadin (one of the founding members) had his first vision of starting his own company while studying for his Bachelor's Degree in Construction Management. As the years advanced and he progressed into the working world as a Shawmut Design & Construction employee, he was always determined to make a difference in the city where he lived and obtained his education. At Shawmut, he made several personal and professional connections. One of the most notable connections was with Duane Boyce, a fellow employee turned friend who, like Bernadin, shared similar interests, goals and values. In 2014, Bernadin and Boyce joined forces to make the collaboration official thus Norfolk Design and Construction LLC was conceived. The company's name was deliberate as Adler Bernadin sought to pay homage to Norfolk Street, where his personal and professional dreams were cultivated, and Shawmut Design and Construction, where he met Duane Boyce while molding his professional development.

WORK EXPERIENCE

I have over fifteen years’ experience working in the construction industry. My career in construction started in 2001 when I joined the United State Marine Corp. as a heavy equipment operator. I have a great amount of knowledge of the estimating as well as the project management side of construction during my time as estimator and assistant project manager. As an estimator for Shawmut Design & Construction I brought in over 20 million dollars’ worth of work. Working as an owner’s representative for MIT Lincoln Lab and Northeastern University I performed project portfolio management task and estimating to ensure projects got executed on time and budget. I also supported owner decision making as to project affordability during pre-construction. I had a 90% hit rate when comparing my project estimates to the actual project cost.

As the President of Norfolk Design & Construction my task include client relationship, asset acquisition, project budgeting, design review, contract management, and project feasibility.

WORK EXPERIENCE

My introduction to the construction industry commenced in 2006 when I started as a Project Engineer for Turner Construction at Yale New Haven Hospital where I assisted with managing the Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing subcontractors. Seeking a more rounded construction experience and exposure to more trades, I progressed to the position of Assistant Project Manager/Estimator where collectively I was involved in projects which ranged from 1M to 12M. For the last 7 years, I have been a Project Manager at the largest utility company in New England and responsible for executing major infrastructure projects. In this role, my responsibilities have spanned entire project lifecycles from preconstruction through closeout and have included estimating, permitting budget, schedule management and logistical coordination. Overall, the total value of the multitude of projects I have overseen and managed is approximately 75 million dollars.

As the Vice-President of Norfolk Design & Construction my task include client relationship, project management, logistics, schedule, and project feasibility and closeout.
