DeWayne O’Dell is the Senior Estimator at Specialized Construction Services, bringing over two decades of experience in heavy industrial construction across power generation, mining, cement, lime, fabrication, machining, structural, mechanical, and electrical environments. His background is rooted in both estimating and field operations, allowing him to develop practical, execution-focused solutions that support successful project delivery.
Throughout his career, DeWayne has supported projects from early planning through execution, working closely with operations and field teams to develop accurate cost estimates, evaluate constructability, and align project scope with real-world jobsite conditions. His experience includes subcontract management, manpower planning, schedule coordination, and supporting large-scale industrial capital and maintenance projects across the United States.
His field-driven approach to estimating allows him to build reliable, well-supported project budgets that reflect practical execution strategies. By collaborating with project managers, superintendents, and operations leadership, DeWayne helps ensure preconstruction planning translates into safe, efficient, and successful project outcomes.
“Truth is, SCS is not built in an office; it is built on the character of the people holding the tools. Every project we’ve undertaken and landmark we’ve raised is simply a reflection of the dedication, grit, and excellence of the team. I am proud to stand amongst those colleagues every single day.“
