Accomplishments

Cesar is very happy with his group for completing milestone projects. He has completed projects in Latin America, Mexico, and Norway. There have been some challenges with LEED in Cesar’s region. They have gotten better over time, but at one point it was hard for Cesar to make a business case and do what he wanted to do. Cesar has had to work extremely hard to get where he is, and it shows with the progress made in his region.

“It was a very strong message to the industry. This project can be done, and it was achieved by Mexicans.” - Cesar Ulises Trevino
