Mark Krantz, Vice President of Real Estate / Gingiss Formalwear

Robert's store planning and project management background was a valuable asset that he brought to the Gingiss Formalwear Group. His creative out-of-the box thinking led to a number of changes in how we did business Nationwide in Gingiss's Company owned and franchise network of mens formalwear stores. I took comfort knowing the stores I assigned him to work on be done within the budget and project schedule, unlike his peers in our organization. When ever issues arose with contractors and/or vendors, Bob provided excellent problem solving and relational skills to effectively resolve them in a timely manner. He implemented new procedures at Gingiss that ultimately led to reducing field change orders by 90% and project costs by 30%.

Roger Heerema, Principal / Wright Heerema Architects

Wright Heerema Architects was the architect of record for the Fifth Third Bank and worked with Robert on the relocation of the bank to the retail level at the Merchandise Mart. As with any large and complex mixed-use building in operation, the time frame for design and construction of a newly leased space, coupled with the need to follow established standards and protocol, are paramount with landlord and tenant. In his landlord representative role, Robert was very good in providing the information, sharing of knowledge, and providing guidance when needed by the design team, that only a seasoned professional with a strong resume could provide. His role was critical in the successful completion of the project. We couldn't have done it without him.

Tim Brooker, Vice President / DCG Roofing Solutions

I had the pleasure of working with Robert while he was the owner’s representative for a public sector client on a multi-building re-roofing project in a central business district in the northern suburbs. Mr. Trauth managed to maneuver around several challenging situations with the project while at the same time clearly communicating with the project stakeholders and team members. He seamlessly coordinated our roofing logistics plan with the City on behalf of DCG Roofing and the facility management staff to ensure the position of cranes, equipment, and staging area for our materials was approved in advance; ensuring there would be no delays with the start of the project. Bob's well-rounded knowledge of the construction process made completing the projects easily achievable. I would be happy to work with him on other projects in the future. If you are considering adding to your staff, I would highly recommended Robert as I am certain he would be a welcome addition to your team.
