Meet the trainer

Matt Verderamo is Group Director at Well Built Construction Consulting, where he helps contractors sharpen preconstruction, estimating, and business development to win more of the right work. Before consulting, Matt rose through the ranks at a specialty subcontractor—serving as Vice President of Preconstruction & Sales by age 28, after earlier roles in project management and estimating. That operator’s perspective powers his practical approach: build disciplined go/no-go filters, tell a value-forward story, and protect margin from first contact to close. He holds a Master’s in Construction Management from Purdue University, regularly publishes insights for industry outlets, and co-hosts Well Built’s executive content series and webinars. Based in Maryland, Matt partners with leaders across North America to align teams, pursue work intentionally, and deliver profitable growth.
