Eliza Cress

Project Manager | Stowe, Vermont

At 11 years old, I was the client’s kid on the job site, poking around in an attempt to figure out what had changed while I’d been at school and asking questions about everything while the carpenters cleaned up.

Fast-forward. Following an undergraduate thesis about quantifying sustainable approaches to remodeling historical structures, nearly a decade of management work in the non-profit sector, and earning a master’s in sustainable land use planning, I finally found my way into construction. I have spent time in both commercial steel and custom residential sectors.

I am a goal-oriented, methodical, and creative problem-solver. I value and prioritize clear communication, strategic planning, and attention to efficiency. I am inspired by the process of bringing a set of plans to life and motivated by working with cohesive and collaborative teams.

When I am off the clock, I am typically on a bike, at the beach with my dog Lenny, or daydreaming about my next opportunity to go skiing.
