LaMonte Forgays
Operations Manager - Aviation, Q&D Construction LLC
LaMonte Forgays, Operations Manager - Aviation at Q&D
Construction, has demonstrated unwavering dedication
to the aviation industry, progressing from an apprentice
carpenter in 2008 to a leader in aviation construction.
Forgays has overseen high-profile projects nationwide,
including the San Luis Obispo Regional Airport's
terminal expansion, where his leadership ensured a
seamless $32 million project. Forgays' resume includes
managing the $11 million Cheyenne Regional Airport
Terminal project, the $130 million Fresno Airport expansion,
and the $120 million Glacier Park International
Airport modernization, where his expertise in Value
Engineering and Constructability consistently delivered
quality results under budget and ahead of schedule.
" Starting as a carpenter's apprentice with absolutely
no prior construction experience, I faced a steep
learning curve. However, through hands-on training
and guidance from experienced colleagues, I was
able to immerse myself in every aspect of aviation
construction, from understanding the fundamentals
of materials and structural work to the intricacies of
project management and leadership, " he said. " This
journey has been both challenging and rewarding. "
Forgays' leadership extends beyond project management.
As a pre-construction lead for significant
undertakings at Reno-Tahoe International Airport, his
strategic approach has enhanced Q&D Construction's
project protocols and established training initiatives,
including the Project Manager Development Program.
His hands-on experience and dedication to continuous
learning are evident through certifications such
as OSHA 30, LEED Green Associate, and a National
Building Code Certificate.
Committed to industry growth, Forgays serves on
multiple committees within the American Association
of Airport Executives (AAAE) and the Airport Consultants
Council (ACC). He shares his expertise at aviation
seminars, particularly with the Young Professionals
committee, where he mentors emerging talent in
aviation construction.
