Take a look at any construction job, and you will see a lot of moving parts. While it may look like chaos, every successful project is a carefully and strategically organized process. Construction management involves planning, organizing, scheduling, directing, controlling, and finishing an entire project. It is the only way to keep a job of any size on schedule and on budget, and it takes a professional to know how to orchestrate every step of the process.

construction managementWhether it’s a new custom home or a commercial office space, most construction projects operate on a very tight schedule with little room for error. Proper construction management ensures that the job gets done right, without too many delays or change orders. A construction manager knows which major decisions must be made up front to avoid costly change orders down the road. But keeping to the construction schedule isn’t just important for timing: It ensures you stay within budget and in accordance with your local building codes.

Each component of a job is handled in stages by the appropriate trade: Plumbers install pipes, electricians wire the building, drywall contractors install the drywall, and painters paint. An experienced construction manager forecasts when each trade will finish their tasks, so the next trade can get to work. If for example, plumbers go over schedule, the entire schedule gets thrown off, and there is no guarantee each subsequent subcontractor will be available at the new proposed times.

Finally, construction management will ensure your new building is within local building codes and schedule all necessary inspections at the appropriate stage of construction. The last thing you want is for the entire frame of your new building to be constructed before the building inspector has cleared the foundation.
