SAN ANTONIO, TX Sundt Construction Inc. has hired Brandon Eastep as a Field Superintendent II in its San Antonio office.

Among Eastep's first duties is the project management plan for VIA Metropolitan Transit's 400-space Stone Oak Park & Ride. The $18.5 million design-build project is being constructed to meet the need for a quick and convenient way to reach downtown San Antonio.

The park-and-ride transportation construction project is the beginning of bigger plans for the area. More development is expected around the facility after it opens in summer 2017.

Eastep will interact with design teams and owner representatives to ensure complete conformance to intended details, incorporation of drawings and specification requirements, and communication of changes and directives to field operations. He will review and manage job costs, purchasing, and production as well as start-up and closeout procedures. In addition, Eastep is responsible for ensuring work is completed according to specifications.

"Brandon has 12 years of construction experience and brings a key ingredient to the team," said Sundt Texas District Manager Eric Hedlund. "He is a true builder, and has extensive experience in self-perform concrete work."

 Eastep has worked with specialty and self-performing general contractors handling commercial, healthcare, multi-family, and industrial projects across Texas and Louisiana.
