James McHugh Construction Co. is pleased to announce the promotion of Alex Bonfil to Vice President of Concrete.

As Vice President of Concrete, Bonfil oversees all aspects of concrete operations, including preconstruction and estimating, negotiating contracts, managing budgets, approving subcontracting awards, establishing and achieving objectives, and ensuring the strong financial performance of his projects. He is responsible for the continuous improvement of concrete operations as well as supervising McHugh's industry-leading concrete teams working on some of the most complex structures across Chicago. 

Bonfil, who joined McHugh in 2012, formerly served as a concrete estimator manager where he oversaw the company's concrete preconstruction and estimation functions. In that role, he spearheaded the implementation of 3-D modeling technology in the concrete division, enabling his team to deliver more accurate concrete estimates to clients. Today, that technology is employed across the company's portfolio to expedite construction timelines, enhance field team training, and mitigate development issues before they arise.

"Alex is a proven professional who has earned the trust and respect of our clients, project teams, and leadership," said Bruce Lake, president of McHugh Construction. "We have every confidence that our concrete division will be strengthened with his talent, hard work and team-first approach." 

Bonfil earned his BS and MS in Civil Engineering from the University of Illinois.
