As your construction manager we have a wide range of responsibilities. We have to set schedules, keep an eye on finances, make sure everybody is where they’re supposed to be every day (and doing what they’re supposed to be doing), ensure there are no safety hazards around, and, in general, keep everyone happy. As a construction manager we are hired to lead and oversee a variety of building projects from start to finish. The jobs can range from a small remodeling or renovation job to the construction of a large commercial structure, such as yours. What you need is someone that can serve as both your “general contractor” and “construction manager”. By allowing Kenneth R. Thompson Jr. Builder to be this for you, we would be involved from the start of a project, helping with the initial planning, as well as the selection of an architect and a construction team of subcontractors and vendors.

There are several specific tasks that we as your construction manager will perform: project management planning, cost management, quality management, contract administration and safety management. Here’s a brief look at what each entails:

• Cost management. We will constantly keep tabs on costs, making adjustments if unexpected issues or complications ariseand continually try to find ways to save you money when possible.
•Quality management. Projects often involve numerous subcontractors
