    Is a Construction Advisor / Manager Necessary

    Simply put YES, before you say NO, consider these five reasons why a Construction Manager can make your life easier:

    1.) Control Project Costs

    Ask yourself what you know about construction and project management. Construction Managers have the training and experience to help control costs. In many cases, a Construction Manager has worked as a general contractor at some point in time. Not only will this help them identify the right subcontractors at the right price for your project, but they will also have a better understanding of the costs associated with various projects.

    2.) Keep Your Project on Schedule

    A Construction Manager’s professional training provides them with insight into the timeframe in which various projects should be completed. At the same time, you may not understand all the moving parts that go into a construction project as a Construction Manager does. They have the expertise to properly schedule all those moving parts and keep the construction flowing, ensuring you not only save money but also complete your project on time.

    3.) Dual Personality

    Many Construction Managers are laid back and accustomed to working with other construction professionals. They possess a lighthearted approach and the ability to carry on banter with their fellow construction professionals that will help them keep the project on track, as well as personnel performing at peak levels. However, as a Construction Manager, the boss is also comfortable laying down the law from time to time. The difference between you and a Construction Manager is that the Construction Manager knows when to be stern. Additionally, the Construction Manager can strike the right authoritative tone that will resonate with personnel and let them know that slips, while inevitable, will not be allowed consistently. In this respect, a Construction Manager can be both a good cop and a bad cop. Not only that, but a Construction Manager can also effectively pull off this dual personality that is necessary for success.

    4.) An Onsite Version of You

    A Construction Manager will be your eyes and ears onsite throughout the life of the project, ensuring that every alteration, every finishing touch, and every piece of the puzzle fits together in the right way to benefit your needs in the long run.

    5.) See it through, from Start to Finish

    Finally, a Construction Manager will be on hand to guide your project from concept and design through to completion. It is the job of a Construction Manager to advise you during the concept and design phase, offering advice on project details that will ensure your growth plan meets your needs. As the project gets underway, the Construction Manager will be onsite to guide the day-to-day operations and long-term benchmarks of the project, ensuring it stays on track.

    What we do...
    Residential Construction Management

    Building a custom home can be one of the most rewarding accomplishments of your life. However, achieving exactly what you want from your builder can be a significant challenge, filled with risks and potential frustrations.

    Many builders advertise project management as a key aspect of their services. However, since the project manager works for the builder rather than the homeowner, we recommend that homeowners hire an advocate who can be solely dedicated to representing and protecting their interests. This way, they can hold the builder accountable for established budgets, acceptable quality standards, and timelines.

    What is an owner's representative?

    An owner’s representative is a trusted professional who acts on behalf of an owner during a construction project. They represent the owner to ensure that the project stays on track and meets the owner’s goals.

    When to engage an owner's representative

    When should you bring in an owner’s representative? Generally speaking, the earlier, the better. Doing so helps you set the project up for success from the start. For example, owners dealing with residential home projects would benefit from having an experienced professional involved in the planning stages. Hence, they genuinely understand the scope of the project and can proactively manage risk and oversee critical decisions.
