It’s time to renovate your office. You’ve made the decision, but what’s next? Is it up to you to make every decision regarding the project? You have a busy life and, while you want to be involved, overseeing an entire renovation might be a bit more work than you bargained for. So, how do you manage an office renovation project? Well, it’s best to enlist some help.

When embarking on an office renovation project, it’s always beneficial to have support. A project manager can outline, strategize, and oversee your renovation so that you don’t have to. While you still can be heavily involved in the process and have the final say on any decisions, a project manager can share some of that burden. An experienced project manager can help your office renovation project run smoothly.

Who Can Help You Manage an Office Renovation Project?

Once you’ve decided to renovate your office, you’ll need to hire a contracting service. The best ones will have project managers available to help direct construction. They can step into your shoes and oversee your office renovation project.

While you might want to manage your office renovation project yourself at first, doing so can be time-consuming. It’s your office, so you want to be involved. However, when it comes to organizing schedules, sourcing materials, and directing construction, it can become a bit overwhelming. If you don’t have experience managing an office renovation project, it can be beneficial to hire a project manager to assist you.

Project managers are crucial players in the construction world. They have the know-how to find the best materials and to handle any issues that might arise during your remodel. Responsible construction companies should provide ample project managers that you can choose to work with. The right project manager should keep you informed on daily happenings and any major decisions that need making.

How to Best Manage an Office Renovation Project

Just hiring a project manager won’t guarantee that your office renovation will go perfectly. It’s important to work with a project manager who respects your vision and your budget. There are a few ways to create a positive working relationship with your project manager to help your renovation be successful. Communication and collaboration are necessary throughout the entire renovation process.

Communication

Once you’ve hired a construction service and a project manager to oversee your office renovation, communication can be the key to your project’s success. Although you may want to be, it’s impractical for you to be on-site each day. That’s why it’s important to encourage open communication with your project manager. Whether in the form of a bi-weekly phone call or daily emails, consistent communication between you and your project manager is necessary.

Sometimes problems can arise during construction that might be too serious for a project manager to solve themselves. Being available to your project manager can help address those issues quickly so that construction doesn’t stall. Regular contact with clients is foundational at D’Lauro and Rodgers. Our client-oriented process revolves around open communication. The right project manager should encourage your interest and want to keep you up to date about the progress of your office renovation.

Collaboration

Before you even hire a contractor or project manager, you likely have a vision for your new office space. However, if you don’t have experience in renovations, it can be helpful to collaborate with your project manager. Comparing your ideas can help you achieve the best possible version of your office space. Having many ideas is good, and an experienced project manager can tell you if all of your goals are feasible within your budget.

Just because you might not have renovation experience doesn’t mean you don’t know what you want for your new office space. A project manager should welcome your ideas and devise a strategy to make them a reality. The project managers at D’Lauro and Rodgers encourage collaboration with all of our clients. Our goal is to create a space that our clients will love, and that only happens by working together.

Hire the Project Managers at D’Lauro and Rodgers for Your Office Renovation

Finding the right construction service for your office renovation can take time. It’s helpful to speak to several companies and get multiple quotes to determine which one is best for you. Perhaps the most important factor in determining the right construction company and project manager is whether or not they respect you and your ideas.

There’s nothing worse than leaving your office renovation project in the wrong hands. Without a trustworthy project manager in your corner, construction projects can go over budget and fail to meet your vision. If a project manager isn’t interested in collaboration and communication, they might not be the right partner for you.

Before hiring a project manager, ask as many questions as you can. Inquire about their process, about their communication style, and even ask for references. The working relationship you have with your project manager can make or break your office renovation experience.
