Michael Grubb, CEP

Senior Estimator and Preconstruction Manager with 10+ years leading estimating and preconstruction for commercial, healthcare, government, hospitality, and multifamily projects from $1M to $90M.

Founded on estimating judgment, not staffing.

Hemingway Preconstruction Services was founded by Michael Grubb, a Tampa-based Senior Estimator and Preconstruction Manager who has run high-volume preconstruction departments — managing 50–75 pursuits a year across healthcare, government, commercial, multifamily, and hospitality work, from first conceptual budget through GMP execution and buyout.

That background means Hemingway isn't estimating from a template. Every budget reflects what it actually takes to build in an occupied hospital wing, a live senior living campus, or a hospitality renovation running around paying guests — because that's the work this experience is built on.
