The job was widely assumed to take at least a year to complete. It was finished in nine months at a fraction of the estimated cost. "You cannot underestimate the dedication of all the people here," Sheirer, 56, said near the end of the site work. After leaving the office in March 2002, Sheirer joined Giuliani's consulting firm.
