Marji oversees all aspects of business planning, development and management for the firm's employees. She has a leadership role in many of the company's services such as developing feasibility studies, constructability analysis, offsite cost estimates; administering bid packages and contracts; and negotiating construction reimbursement agreements for public improvements performed through private development.
