Tocci Building Companies (Tocci), an AGC of Massachusetts member, announced recently that Arash (Ari) Arbabi has joined the team as project controls manager. In his new role, Arbabi will develop and manage complex project schedules, as well as assist Tocci’s estimating and management teams. 

Adding to his responsibilities, Arbabi will expand Tocci’s 4D scheduling practice through the use of Synchro, work closely with contractors and team members to integrate disparate project variables, and provide consistent performance metrics to greatly improve project efficiency and reduce risk. Notably, Arbabi will immediately begin working on Tocci’s Boston hospital program management project, where he will oversee the schedule of ongoing construction, design, and operations tasks.

"Ari is a talented project controls manager," commented John Tocci, chief enabling officer at Tocci. "He possesses the rare ability to manage complex scheduling software and break down intricate projects into easily understandable components. His work will provide increased efficiency and productivity for our clients. Ari will be an essential part of our larger-scale and critical operating environment projects, which involve more ‘moving parts’ and delicate phasing."

Arbabi earned his Master of Science degree in Construction Management at Northeastern University, where he received the Intercultural Leadership Award.
