The Project Manager is responsible for managing new custom home construction and large scale home renovations from planning to completion.

During pre-construction, the Project Manager will work closely with local architects, engineers and trade partners to ensure our client’s needs are represented properly in the plans

During construction, the Project Manager will manage the budget, schedule and ongoing communications with the client and others to keep the project on time and on budget. At all times thinking steps ahead in the process and planning for various situations that may arise.

We believe that to manage a project you have to understand the project. Therefore, Project Managers are on site multiple days a week interacting with trade partners, meeting weekly with clients and architects to walk the house and keeping tabs on the overall progress and craftsmanship.

The Project Manager will have ownership of multiple projects, communicating with clients and trade partners throughout the projects, interacting with local inspection officials, and working with and directing other Grau employees as needed.
