Site Management

Construction Site Managers provide quality control for the entire construction project. If not crafted carefully and strategically, commercial construction projects can quickly become a massive liability for everyone involved, including whoever will use the structure after its completion.

One of the most important responsibilities of construction managers is hiring subcontractors to complete specific portions of the project. Commercial buildings have many different standards to meet to comply with building codes, regulations, and warranties, to name a few, depending on the type of project. When you hire a construction manager, you also benefit from their trusted industry partners — people who undoubtedly have a positive working relationship with the construction manager and a history of respect and reliability. construction managers ensure subcontractors are licensed and insured, and they inspect work before paychecks are issued.

Construction managers are responsible for paying the subcontractors they choose to hire. This benefit allows construction managers to ensure that the specialised work is completed in its entirety before any other parties are paid, or depending on the type of subcontractor and project, as subsequent projects are completed.

Construction managers are required to be licensed and insured. Construction managers carry workers comp and liability insurance, protecting construction workers and others who work directly on the job site. For example, if someone is hurt or a claim is made, the construction manager handles these situations as a licensed and insured professional.

Dealing with deadlines is a huge part of the CMs duties and an extremely important aspect of the construction plan. Keeping all parties involved on schedule and updated regarding changes, issues and next steps helps a construction project be completed efficiently. CMs can impress the importance of project deadlines within the scope of the entire construction project. Going back to communication, CMs will also let subcontractors know about any delays that affect their project responsibility. If there is a materials shortage, the contractor will tell the affected subcontractors, document the delay, and publicly update timelines as necessary.
