Because construction and renovation projects can get messy, expensive and stressful. Ask anyone who has tried to manage one on their own.
A project manager is there to supplement the work of the architect and contractor and to make sure nothing falls between the cracks. The project manager also serves as the client’s professional representative.
As a project manager I have the technical professional knowledge, skills and experience required to plan, execute, manage and troubleshoot your building project from start to finish.
