Team Member Spotlight – David Summey



David Summey, our indispensable
General Superintendent.
As Herbert Construction Company’s General Superintendent, David Summey is oftentimes the most visible face of the company.  David truly is on the front line, speaking with builders and visiting jobsites daily.  “I really enjoy working with our customers.  I would never be able to sit in an office all day, so my job is perfect for me,” says David.

David is instrumental in every aspect of a project. From visiting the site, working with engineers and excavators, and providing information to our estimating and CAD departments, David knows every job inside and out.  “What I enjoy most is knowing all the details of the job,” said David. 

Having a single point of contact while your foundation is being built is one of the unique benefits of working with Herbert Construction Company. Our clients don’t have to meet with the footing crew to explain what they want, and then do it all over again when the wall crew arrives.  David not only watches over the construction so the builder doesn’t have to, he will also call in for inspections whenever possible. 

David’s 24+ years of concrete experience make him extremely valuable to us and our clients.  “I’ve been in construction most of my life,” says David. “I worked on the redi-mix production side for 10 years, but the last 14 here at Herbert Construction actually watching homes be built have been the most rewarding.” 

“2014 is going to be a good year.  Things are steadily getting better in residential construction, and it feels great to be really busy once again,” adds David. 

David is very much a family man, “I’ve been married to my beautiful wife Kay for almost 24 years now,” he says.   Between the two of them they have 5 children and 13 grandchildren, all of whom keep them very busy.  When not working, David loves to fish.  His favorite is salt flats fishing in the Gulf, and he’s hoping to take some time off this Spring to indulge in this favorite pastime.
