  Construction Manager / Estimator

  Project Management: I manage all aspects of construction projects, from initial planning through to final completion. This includes developing project schedules, coordinating with subcontractors, and ensuring that all work is completed on time, within budget, and to the highest standards. I handle the complexities of home remodels, including the installation and finishing of custom trim, moldings, banisters, railings, wainscoting, and other decorative woodwork.Estimating: I prepare detailed cost estimates, particularly for projects involving new hardwood installation and refinishing. This includes analyzing project plans, materials, and labor costs, as well as assessing bids from subcontractors to ensure accurate and competitive pricing.Client Relations: As the primary point of contact for clients, I ensure that their needs are met throughout the project lifecycle. I work closely with clients to understand their vision for remodels, provide regular progress updates, and address any concerns, ensuring their satisfaction with the final result.Budget Management: I monitor and manage project budgets, ensuring that costs are controlled and that projects remain profitable. This involves tracking expenses, identifying potential cost savings, and adjusting budgets as needed to accommodate changes in project scope or unexpected challenges.Team Leadership: I lead and coordinate a team of construction professionals, including site supervisors and skilled tradespeople. My leadership ensures that all team members are working efficiently, maintaining high standards of craftsmanship, and adhering to safety protocols.Quality Control: I implement rigorous quality control measures to ensure that all work, especially detailed finish carpentry, meets both the company’s high standards and client expectations. This includes conducting regular site inspections and addressing any issues immediately. Show less
