Residential Project Manager
I have seen a couple of posts about this but no definitive answers: are there experts in construction management that will work as an owners rep in a residential construction project? Either for a flat fee, hourly rate, or percentage of project cost?
I am just wrapping up a rather large (7 figures) home renovation. While I think my contractor did amazing work, he took two years (and still a punch list to go) and I’m never quite sure where his numbers come from - sometimes different prices for the same work. I don’t ascribe malice to any of this - I just think he’s more skilled at carpentry than running a business/project.
This brings me to our next project - smaller in scope but still enough money and space that I want to make sure we aren’t ripped off or subject to prolonged dislocation. God help me but I’m open to using the same contractor but I definitely would like to get multiple bids.
So I’d like to hire a resource who can help define project scope and needs; put together something like an RFP; help with proposal evaluation and vendor selection; and work with the contractor to make sire we keep to schedule and budget.
Do these people exist? What is the best way to find one? TIA
