RALEIGH, NC — Full-service construction firm, Kaufman Lynn Construction, announces industry veteran David M. Mooney as the new Regional Senior Vice President of the firm’s North Carolina operations.

Mooney, with more than 25 years of experience in the construction industry, will be responsible for the overall management and strategic planning of the company’s projects throughout the region.

“The growth opportunities for Kaufman Lynn in the area are tremendous,” said Mooney, who was previously Vice President with Samet Corporation in Charlotte. “I’m excited to be joining this industry leader and working alongside a highly-skilled team that’s delivering the exceptional products and quality services to a growing market.”

Mooney’s primary focus is to strengthen the local relationships and continue to growth the company’s presence in the Carolinas. Currently Kaufman Lynn has a half dozen projects underway including Pier 33 in Wilmington, VIDA Apartments in Kannapolis, Windsor Run in Matthews and several other large projects in preconstruction. The company recently completed the Residences at the Prince Charles and is wrapping up work on the adjacent Hay Street Garage in Fayetteville.

“David brings a lot of solid experience and insight to the Carolina market,” said Kaufman Lynn’s President Frank White. “We are seeing an increase in the construction activity in the area, and with David’s contacts our team can continue to develop relationships and take on some exciting projects in the region.”

Mooney, who has a Master of Business Administration from Tiffin University in Ohio and a bachelor’s degree in construction management from Bowling Green State University, will be supported by Kaufman Lynn teams in the Charlotte and Raleigh offices.

In addition to Kaufman Lynn’s North Carolina presence, the 30-year-old firm has offices in Austin, and in the Naples/Ft. Myers area of Florida.
