If you are planning on a home remodel, addition or new construction in your near future, you may be looking into hiring an architect to design your house plans. But that’s only the beginning. It is also important to consider what an architect and your project manager will do for you once construction begins. This blog provides some details about your project manager and what you can expect.
What is the architect’s role during construction? Your architect, during construction, makes sure the work in progress adheres to the architect’s design intentions, advocating for you, the client.
What is the role of a residential project manager? A residential project manager is responsible for all aspects of a project; managing the costs, timeframe, quality of work, and supervising the work. The project manager communicates with you and solicits for your input, and the architect’s input, as needed.
Not all residential project manager job descriptions are the same. Sometimes, your general contractor acts as your project manager, depending on the size of the business or your construction project. Some contractors employ an estimator to give you a quote and then will pass awarded work onto a project manager. We strive for our project managers to have full accountability, from start to the finish, including costs, timing and quality of work.
