J. Michael Orifici’s remarkable 35-year career in the real estate and construction industries is highlighted by specific experience in project coordination and scheduling for “fast track” projects and occupied structures undergoing renovations.

His first company High Point Construction Company, a prosperous general contracting company (rated in the top 500 nationally), which he founded in 1979, handled every type of construction project including corporate, municipal, educational, and health services.  

As President of J. Michael Orifici & Associates (JMOA) since its founding in 1984, J. Michael managed more than $2.5 billion in construction for projects ranging from $3-100 million. He propelled JMOA to a position of leadership in the field of Educational Construction Administration, ranked number 60 of the top 100 CM firms in the country (Engineering News Record 2001). His renown grew as difficult, almost impossible projects were completed on time, against all odds.  In this regard, he spearheaded such programs as CIP (Construction Implementation Plan) protecting occupants throughout the duration of a construction program.   

In 2002, Mr. Orifici’s career took an astonishing turn into the realm of software development. Within two years he fulfilled his vision to develop software to meet the needs of NYS school districts and other public agencies. His vision has created web-based applications (CapProSoft®) that assist in tracking and reporting on multi-faceted, multi-year, multi-contract, multi-million dollar capital improvement programs.  

Mr. Orifici lends his construction expertise in the form of consulting, issue resolution, construction claims analyses, project feasibility review and project development. His role includes project planning, where he supervises scheduling, estimating, value engineering and project partnership goals. His career path has been noted for success, integrity, sensitivity and achievement.  Mr. Orifici’s personal attention and overall supervision in not only the preliminary planning stages, but through project completion, insures that each project is completed on time, on budget and according to the highest standards in the industry.

His stewardship of JMOA and Capital Projects Consulting, LLC, has earned for him a reputation as one of the top construction managers in the US. Owners, architects, attorneys and administrators rely upon him as an experienced consultant to navigate their projects through turbulent issues.
