Project Management
FAQ

What is renovation project management?
Renovation project management is the professional coordination of schedules, subcontractors, inspections, and communication throughout a renovation. The goal is to keep the project organized, on schedule, and moving forward without the homeowner managing day to day details.

​

Who is renovation project management best for?
This service is ideal for homeowners who already have contractors or vendors selected but want professional oversight. It is also a good fit for homeowners who want accountability, structure, and clear communication without taking on the stress themselves.

​

What does FR Young Homes manage during a project?
We manage scheduling, subcontractor coordination, inspection timing, progress tracking, and ongoing communication. We act as the central point of contact to keep all parties aligned.

​

Do you perform the construction work as part of project management?
No. Project management focuses on oversight and coordination. Construction work is performed by the homeowner’s selected subcontractors or vendors.

​

How does project management reduce renovation stress?
Homeowners are not responsible for coordinating trades, tracking schedules, or chasing updates. We handle communication and problem solving so issues are addressed quickly and clearly.

​

Will you help manage timelines and sequencing?
Yes. We build and manage a realistic project schedule and coordinate trades in the correct order to reduce delays and rework.

​

Do you manage inspections and permits?
We coordinate inspection scheduling and help ensure work is completed in the proper sequence for approvals. Permit requirements are reviewed during planning so expectations are clear.

​

How do you communicate project updates?

​

What happens if issues or delays come up?
If issues arise, we address them promptly and communicate the cause, impact, and next steps. Our role is to keep the project moving while keeping you informed.

​

Is project management priced as a flat fee or hourly?

Our project management fee is a flat rate because our value is in oversight, accountability, and keeping the project moving, not tracking hours. The rate is determined based on the project timeline, complexity, and number of trades needed on the project. 

​

Can project management be used for partial renovations or home improvements?
Yes. Project management can be applied to full renovations, additions, or smaller improvement projects where coordination and oversight are needed.

​

How is this different from a general contractor?
A general contractor typically performs or directly subcontracts the construction work. Project management focuses on oversight, coordination, and communication when construction is being handled by others.

​

When should I bring in a project manager?
The earlier, the better. Involving a project manager during planning helps avoid scheduling conflicts, sequencing issues, and miscommunication once construction begins.
