Aditya Pandit is an accomplished Construction Project Manager currently leading development initiatives at BECO Asset Management in Chesapeake, Virginia. With nearly seven years of progressive experience in the construction industry, he has established himself as a highly capable leader known for delivering complex projects with precision, innovation, and strategic foresight. Aditya specializes in multifamily developments, commercial buildouts, restaurant construction, tenant improvements, and land development projects—bringing a dynamic blend of technical knowledge and field experience to every endeavor.
Holding dual master’s degrees—an MBA from Trine University and a Master of Science in Construction and Facilities Management from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte—Aditya combines academic excellence with real-world expertise. He also holds a Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering from Visvesvaraya Technological University from India. His extensive training is complemented by industry certifications, including OSHA 30, CMIT, Procore, 3D Studio Max, and Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, making him adept at both project execution and strategic management.
At BECO Asset Management, Aditya has risen through the ranks, starting as a Project Scheduler and advancing to Assistant Project Manager before being promoted to Project Manager. In this role, he has led a wide portfolio of successful projects, including the 3800 Acqua Apartments—a $41.5 million mixed-use development—and the Royal Sail Apartments, a senior living community valued at $27 million. Other notable developments under his management include the Sojourn Fermentory, a brewery and restaurant that required innovative coordination under extreme humidity conditions; Caring Hands Animal Hospital, a specialized veterinary facility; and the Silo Bar and Restaurant, a $3.7 million hospitality venue involving adaptive reuse and extensive site coordination.
Aditya’s leadership extends beyond traditional project delivery. He has been instrumental in securing green building certifications and achieving sustainability milestones in multifamily developments. His role in the 3800 Acqua and Royal Sail projects contributed to both securing bronze-level green building certifications and unlocking HUD Green MIP reductions, showcasing his ability to align environmental goals with financial incentives. His meticulous oversight in verifying HVAC efficiencies, insulation standards, and water-saving systems ensured the developments met Energy Star and NGBS guidelines.
Known for his meticulous budgeting and procurement acumen, Aditya has developed highly accurate estimates for complex mixed-use developments. Through effective value engineering and vendor negotiations, he has saved between 2% and 7% on several land development budgets, including the Alaron Apartments, Tower Hill Phase 2, and Knotts Creek projects. His approach combines a detailed understanding of civil drawings with practical site logistics, ensuring both feasibility and efficiency throughout the entire project, from concept to execution.
A central theme across his projects is communication and coordination. Aditya is a strong advocate of clear stakeholder alignment, transparent RFI documentation, and proactive resolution of design ambiguities. His experience leading project communication during construction of the Royal Sail and Tower Hill Phase 2 projects demonstrates his ability to navigate regulatory hurdles and site conflicts with professionalism and speed. For instance, when sediment infiltration during storm events threatened the Tower Hill schedule, he coordinated with storm pipe contractors and city officials to execute immediate mitigation measures, preserving both the budget and the timeline.
Equally adept at field operations and executive-level reporting, Aditya manages budgets, forecasts cash flow, and prepares AIA draw requests while concurrently overseeing subcontractors, performing job site inspections, and ensuring code compliance. His use of MS Project and Primavera P6 for baseline scheduling, coupled with advanced tools like Bluebeam, PlanSwift, and Procore, enable him to maintain control over every project variable. He is especially skilled in managing long-lead items, coordinating phased turnovers, and planning recovery strategies when unforeseen challenges arise.
Aditya’s expertise is also reflected in his contributions to thought leadership within the construction industry. His published articles cover a broad range of themes—from sustainable land development and green building certifications to procurement transparency, construction scheduling, budgeting, and communication management. These works not only highlight technical strategies but also offer insights into his leadership philosophy, which prioritizes collaboration, adaptability, and continuous improvement. He has been recognized for his performance and impact, receiving BECO’s MVP of the Year award in 2024, further validating his commitment to excellence.
As Aditya looks ahead, his vision is to shape the next generation of high-rise, mixed-use, and climate-adaptive developments through intelligent planning and sustainable innovation. He is passionate about mentoring younger professionals and driving systemic improvements across the construction management field. Whether delivering $40M+ residential-commercial ventures or solving last-minute issues in restaurant fit-outs, Aditya brings a rare combination of hands-on diligence, cross-disciplinary insight, and strategic foresight that continues to elevate every project he touches.
