Management FAQs
Common questions about our construction management services.
What's the difference between a general contractor and a construction manager?
A general contractor works under a fixed-price contract and is responsible for completing a defined scope of work. A construction manager works on behalf of the owner, providing oversight, coordination, and transparency throughout the process. Construction management typically gives the owner more visibility into actual costs and more control over trade contractor selection and scheduling.
At what stage of a project should I bring in a construction manager?
Ideally, during the preconstruction phase — before permits are finalized and before ground is broken. Early involvement allows the construction manager to review drawings for buildability, provide budget feedback, develop a realistic schedule, and help plan the permitting sequence. Bringing one in after construction begins is possible but limits the value they can add.
Do you handle permitting and DOB filings?
We coordinate closely with project architects and expediters on permitting and Department of Buildings filings. Our role is to ensure the permitting sequence is planned properly, that required documents are submitted on time, and that inspection scheduling is integrated into the project schedule.
How do you manage subcontractors on a construction project?
We bid work competitively, evaluate contractors on qualifications and track record as well as price, and manage them through clear scopes of work, scheduled reporting, and on-site coordination. Field supervision and regular site visits are a core part of our construction management service.
What does a typical construction management fee look like?
Construction management fees vary based on project scope, complexity, and the services required. Fees are typically structured as a percentage of construction cost or as a fixed fee agreed upon during the preconstruction phase. We can discuss pricing in the context of a specific project.
How do you handle unforeseen site conditions?
Unforeseen conditions — whether soil contamination, unexpected foundation conditions, or hidden structural elements — are a reality in New York City construction. When they arise, we document them promptly, evaluate options with the design team, and bring realistic solutions to the owner rather than allowing the issue to compound.
Do you work on projects outside New York City?
Our primary focus is New York City and the immediate Tri-State Area. Contact us to discuss whether your project's location and scope are a fit for our services.
