The following is expected of the Project Manager:
  • Frequent communications.
  • Frequent site visits (on a regular basis throughout the project.)
  • On site layout of subcontractors and craftspeople.
  • Authorization and management of changes on the project.
  • Quick, courteous and responsible response to client’s concerns.
  • Attention to details of the project.
The Lead Carpenter, Consultant and Production Manager are all available to help in the event that the Project Manager is unavailable for any reason.
