• Oversee all phases of construction including grading, foundation, framing, MEP, finishes, and punch list

• Collaborate with developers, architects, and homeowners on both production and custom projects
• Develop and maintain project budgets and schedules, addressing site-specific challenges proactively
• Lead and coordinate subcontractors, suppliers, and on-site personnel
• Maintain strong communication with clients, providing updates and ensuring satisfaction through closing

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in residential construction project management, preferably with homes in the $750K$1.5M range
