Landscapes Unlimited has promoted Judd Chatelain to senior construction estimator.

A 22-year Landscapes Unlimited veteran, Chatelain is widely regarded as one of the golf industry’s most experienced and respected project estimators. In working closely with golf course architects, vendors, property owners and Landscapes Unlimited field managers, he constructs budgets and workflows for high-quality builds and renovations of golf courses, country clubs, resorts and communities as well as sports fields.

Scheduling the economics of projects from $20,000 to $20M, under public and private ownership, Chatelain weighs in on myriad aspects of Landscapes’ project management framework including activity and resource planning, organizing and motivating project teams, monitoring time management and progress, cost estimating and budget development, analyzing and managing project risk and ultimately realizing client satisfaction.

“Without detailed road maps, budget development and project look-ins by our estimating core, our field teams would have to rely on gut-feel during the execution phase, which would’ve been arduous given weather volatility and supply chain challenges nowadays,” Chatelain said. “The involvement of our estimating team from project inception through close-out lends stability and reliability to precise execution and Landscapes Unlimited’s ecosystem as a whole.

Much of Chatelain’s immersion is on the West Coast, where he is integral to the success of projects at Rancho Santa Fe Country Club in California, San Luis Obispo County Club in California, The Reserve Club in California, The Vintage Club in California and Red Rocks Country Club in Colorado. He also played a key forecasting and facilitation role in Landscapes Unlimited’s work for the City of San Diego around its Torey Pines South Course for the 2021 U.S. Open.
