Josh Farmer
Chief Cost Analyst Linbeck Group LLC
A Texas A&M graduate with a degree in Construction Science, I joined Linbeck in 2007 and currently serve as a Chief Cost Analyst in our preconstruction and estimating department. I began my career in the field as an engineer, advanced into a Project Manager role for several years, and transitioned into preconstruction in 2019. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve gained extensive experience in healthcare projects, including several projects for Cook Children, as well as a wide range of cultural work including the Winspear Opera House, the Witte Museum, the Fort Worth Museum of Science & History, the Dallas Zoo, and the Amon Carter Museum. I also have more than eight years of experience delivering student housing projects for institutions such as Texas Christian University, Baylor University, Texas A&M University, and the University of Texas at Arlington, alongside numerous smaller and varied projects. I live in Fort Worth, Texas, and enjoy the outdoors, all things sports-related, and spending time with my wife and our three boys.
