What’s the Role of a Commercial Construction Manager?

A commercial construction project has many moving parts. Clients might think they can organize all aspects of their project by themselves, but doing so can quickly become overwhelming. That’s why a commercial construction manager can be helpful. While they can wear many hats, commercial construction managers are essentially responsible for overseeing your commercial construction project so that you don’t have to.

Coordinator

Your commercial construction manager will coordinate with all of the necessary players involved in your project. At any given time throughout construction, there can be multiple suppliers or teams involved in your project. Resolving conflicting schedules and getting the necessary permits isn’t always easy. Your commercial construction manager’s responsibility is to coordinate between all persons involved to keep your project on schedule.

Director

Commercial construction managers are the maestros of the construction process. They will direct daily happenings so that each day goes smoothly. Directing daily operations can be almost impossible for clients. With busy lives and schedules, it can be difficult for clients stay on top of every event throughout the construction process. Your trusted commercial construction manager can handle that level of oversight, while keeping you in the loop.

Decision-Maker

Sometimes, problems occur during construction. It’s helpful to have a commercial construction manager on-site to handle any issues that might arise. Their responsibility is to make choices in your place for the good of your project. These minor decisions could inconvenience you throughout the day or be too insignificant to bring to your attention. Your commercial construction manager can deal with such problems and quickly inform you of any serious issues that need your attention.

Communicator

One of the primary roles of a commercial construction manager is to be the communicator to our clients. The commercial construction managers at D’Lauro and Rodgers are dedicated to maintaining an open line of communication with our clients throughout the construction process. Before beginning, it’s important to have a conversation with your designated commercial construction manager about your communication styles.

What to Expect in a Commercial Construction Manager?

To perform their role correctly, a commercial construction manager should have certain qualities. Your commercial construction manager will be your primary connection to your project and make decisions on your behalf. Because of that, they must have your best interest in mind.

Respect

First and foremost, your commercial construction manager should have respect for you. Before hiring someone for the job, get to know them and how they operate. They should respect your level of interest in the project and should actively protect your budget. A commercial contractor should maintain communication with you throughout the construction process and indicate that intention from the get-go. Choosing the right commercial construction manager is important for the success of your project.

Experience

Commercial construction managers often have significant experience. Commercial projects can require additional moving parts, permits, and intricacies that residential projects don’t. That’s because such projects are often on a much larger scale. Choose a commercial construction manager who has experience handling a project of your size.
