Alesia Budnik

Alesia Budnik has been with TNT Commercial since near the company's founding. Long enough to have seen every way a commercial project can go sideways, and to have built the systems that prevent most of them.

As senior project manager, she sits at the intersection of client communication, design execution, and contractor coordination: the layer where good plans either hold together or fall apart. Her work involves managing timelines, resolving specification conflicts before they reach the site, and maintaining the kind of clear communication between clients and contractors that keeps projects on budget and on schedule.

She writes about the operational reality of commercial interior projects - what project management looks like when the furniture arrives in the wrong finish, and the install crew is already booked.
