How to Select the Right Construction Manager

One of the most important parts of any successful construction project is choosing the right manager for the job. A construction manager oversees every aspect of a project from start to finish, ensuring the property owner’s or developer’s wishes are kept in mind every step of the way. With the right professional in charge, construction projects can be properly planned, executed in a timely manner and kept within budget.

It is important to remember that not all managers share the same experience or sense of efficiency, which is why it is critical that you screen potential project leaders in advance. The following are key areas to assess when searching for the right consultant or construction manager in California​.

Experience level and type

The construction manager you hire should have extensive experience working on a wide range of projects. It is especially important that the manager be familiar with your specific type of construction job. Take a moment to ask your manager to provide examples of similar types of projects he has worked on and successfully completed in the past.

Choosing a manager with experience in your type of project sets a solid foundation for all
planning and work that is to come. By selecting a seasoned manager, you can know that the professionals working on your site have years of experience with troubleshooting issues, leading teams and bringing projects to completion.

Ability to be a team player

When searching for a project manager, you want to ensure that the professional you choose has the ability to inspire other workers on the team, as well as contracted vendors. The best construction manager in California​ will not need to yell at or berate others in order to move the project forward. Abrasive and aggressive managers can even slow down the development process by reducing team morale.

Look for a project manager who hires a team of workers that he knows he can trust with a fair and balanced amount of supervision. This will tell you that the manager has the ability to work well with others, while still ensuring the project is on track with your schedule and budget.

Understanding of your priorities

It is imperative that the manager you choose to work with is an excellent listener and understands your priorities for the project. During your initial conversations, be sure to discuss your budget limitations, timeline and any overall goals for the development process. Your project manager should be completely open to your preferences, provide sound advice and know what level of responsibility you expect from him as the project moves forward.

Having a construction manager who communicates clearly, offers helpful feedback and implements the best version of your vision will save you time and money throughout the course of the job. It will also make you feel at ease, knowing that you have a trustworthy manager
guiding the construction process.
