NORTH BROOKFIELD — Stone & Lime Historic Restoration Services, a landmark restoration specialist, announced it has hired Justin Billings to join its leadership team as vice president of Operations. Billings will oversee historically sensitive and landmark restoration projects across the Stone & Lime portfolio, which includes significant preservation programs among both public and private clients.
Billings joins Stone & Lime after two decades in construction management with one of the region’s largest general contractors, managing both new construction and renovation projects. His passion for preservation makes him a natural fit for the Stone & Lime leadership team, and he has overseen notable projects like the restoration of the Trinity College Long Walk, multiple renovation and restoration projects at Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, and repairs and updates to the Travelers Tower, all in Hartford, Conn. In addition to his deep project management experience, Billings is also a LEED-certified professional.
As Stone & Lime continues to expand its portfolio of work both in terms of geography and complexity, it was necessary to add a seasoned professional like Billings to its ranks. His experience will play a significant role in supporting ongoing restoration projects, including National Parks Service-managed sites like the Cape Lookout Lighthouse in North Carolina’s Outer Banks and Fort Jefferson at the Dry Tortugas National Park in the Florida Keys.
“We are in the fortunate position of being awarded new and exciting restoration projects around the country and, as such, saw an opportunity to add a respected industry leader to our team,” said Chris Dabek, vice president of Stone & Lime. “In addition to a sterling track record for client service and having the ability to balance passion and practicality when it comes to landmark restoration work, he will also serve as a resource for our project managers who can tap into his experience working for recognized institutions across the Northeast.”
Billings holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in civil engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
