Construction Related Training and Education

Jon Linden has learned most of his construction related experience from actual work in the field.  The most rigorous project was a 425,000 sq. ft. special use warehouse with frozen, refrigerated and dry storage areas, an office mezzanine and special use areas.  This building was a pier supported building and involved significant analysis of existing piers, replacement of such, examination for any and all types of infestation, pollution, ground water integrity, soil support integrity and many other facets of the construction process to accomplish the completion of this building.

In addition, Mr. Linden was the Operational Manager for his own business which was an LLC which owned and operated apartment buildings.  This experience required knowledge of building codes, methods of construction, methods of repair and all the other items that go along with the ownership of rental properties.

Additionally, Mr. Linden has mediated and/or arbitrated several dozen construction related cases in his career as a dispute resolution professional.
