Spokesperson
Emmanuel Ugbaja
Chief Executive Officer
Emmanuel Ugbaja is Chief Executive Officer of Jacob Wiseman, a construction, general contracting and construction management company built for complex, high-stakes projects. For more than a decade he has worked in project controls, helping teams deliver complex construction and infrastructure projects where delays, cost changes and missed handoffs can have serious consequences. At Jacob Wiseman he leads an approach that identifies the approvals, materials and trade handoffs that could hold up a build before work starts, compares the plan with what crews are seeing in the field once construction is underway, and brings issues to owners early with clear options.

Emmanuel Ugbaja - Trade handoffs
Why so many delays start when one trade hands an area to the next, and how look-aheads and handoff checks keep the following crew working.
Emmanuel Ugbaja - Long-lead procurement risk
Switchgear, generators, air handlers and steel: how equipment lead times set the critical path on complex projects, and how to plan around them early.
Emmanuel Ugbaja - Owner decision timing
