Careful Planning and Scheduling
Your project manager will work closely with you, the architect, and us to develop a comprehensive schedule for your custom home build.

The PM also coordinates with subcontractors and suppliers to ensure they will be on-site when needed according to the schedule. With careful planning and scheduling, your project stays on time and on budget. She is in daily communication with our Director of Construction to see the project is moving as planned.
Constant Communication
The PM maintains open lines of communication with all parties involved in the build. They provide regular updates on progress and next steps, addressing any questions or concerns promptly. The PM also attends weekly meetings with subcontractors to identify any issues early on that could impact the schedule or budget. Clear and constant communication is key to keeping a complex custom home build running efficiently.
Cost Control and Change Management
An experienced PM tracks all costs and payments to ensure the budget is followed. If any changes are needed to the plans, the PM assesses the cost implications and works with you and the builder to find alternatives that won’t blow the budget. The PM approves all change orders before additional charges are incurred. With vigilant cost control and oversight of any changes, the PM helps avoid unexpected budget overruns that can happen in a custom build.
