Why do I need a Project Manager for my residential renovation project?
This is a great question that we get asked a lot! If you are working with any home builder or general contractor in Toronto or the Greater Toronto Area, they are considered the Project Manager for your renovation or new home project.
The value that a home builder, general contractor, or renovation contractor brings with a superior project management structure is:
Buying Power: Your Home Builder or General Contractor should have very reputable sub-trades and vendors that they work with to get you the best value for every dollar you spend. The pricing they receive from these companies is way more cost effective (usually anywhere from 15 to 30 per cent) than pricing you can get as a home owner. This is because a Home Builder/General Contractor gives these trades and vendors more work than any singular home owner can give them!
Investment in a Project Management Structure: Many Home Builders/General Contractors have systems in place to properly manage a residential construction project, no matter the size or type of project. The best Home Builders in Toronto know exactly what to look for as a project progresses, and can usually diffuse any issues before they become permanent.
Quality Control: A superior residential construction project management company will be able to add a layer of quality control, which holds every single sub-contractor and vendor who works on the project accountable for their work. If there are any issues with any workmanship your Home Builder/General Contracting Company will make sure that the issue gets resolved. The reason why sub-contractors and vendors respond better to a residential construction project management company instead of a home owner? Buying Power!
In summary, you will get a superior and more efficient residential construction project experience, at a similar cost to you procuring everything yourself and managing the project. It also ensures that nothing is missed in the scope of work, which usually happens since you are not the residential construction expert!
How does BVM Contracting’s Project Management Program Work?
Here is the process of BVM Contracting’s Project Management Program:
First we complete a scope of work by completing a site visit and project discovery. At this point, if a designer or architect is needed for the project we bring them in to provide a fee proposal for the design and permits.
Once the site visit is completed we build a scope of work to include all of the work that needs to be completed. This is completed at no charge. Once this is completed we share with the client to confirm that everything they want is included.
Once confirmation is received that the scope of work includes all of the wish-list items for their residential construction project, we procure all of the services and material for you. This is also done at no charge.
As pricing come through, we building out the pricing for the budget/scope of work at the cost that we received from the vendor and sub-contractors. We then add on a labour component (for our BVM crew to complete prep work between trades) and project management fee for a percentage of the total managed services. This can vary from 10 - 25 percent depending on the complexity of the project.
Once the budget is built out it is presented to the client, and is usually lower or at the amount that they would have paid if they tried to procure everything themselves!
The advantage of working with BVM Contracting’s Project Management Program is that we will save you time and money on managing any of your larger projects around the home!
