Responsibilities

Own the project. Read plans, specs and change orders; build the job schedule and find ways to improve flow and finish sooner.
Be the client's go-to. Take part in the pre-construction meeting, hold weekly walkthroughs, and keep homeowners informed and confident.
Lead your crew. Assign, supervise and inspect carpentry work, and train carpenters and apprentices on the job.
Coordinate the trades. Schedule subcontractors, have materials on site and ready, and check their work for quality and completeness.
Manage materials & budget. Do take-offs, order and check deliveries, schedule inspections, and use weekly job reports to stay on budget and on schedule.
Finish strong. Build and complete the punch list with the client and deliver a remodel that exceeds expectations — under promise, over deliver.
