Manage Your Own Project and Bring Your Budget Within Reach

Managing your own construction project might sound overwhelming, but with the right guidance, anyone can do it. Our 10-step process will empower you to bring your project to life, and oversee every stage of your build—just like the pros. Take control of your project, avoid costly mistakes, and keep more money in your pocket.

Be the Boss of Your Project—Not the Builder

Being your own project manager doesn’t mean you have to do the work yourself. It means you’re managing the skilled trades that will do it for you, just like a general contractor does. With the right tools and resources, anyone can manage their own project—think of it like conducting an orchestra, where you direct the specialists to bring your vision to life. You don’t need to be a construction expert—you just need to know how to organize, communicate, and make decisions.

Take Control, Achieve More, Spend Less

  • Hire Contractors You Trust

    Build your own team of trade specialists to bring your project to life.

  • Save Thousands on GC Fees

    Avoid paying hefty contractor markups and keep your budget in check.

  • Get the Results You Want

    Stay in control of decisions like design, materials, methods and timelines.

The Simple Process

  • Know exactly what you need before reaching out to contractors.

  • Break down your project scope of work by specialty trade, and organize the trades into separate “Bid Packages” in a “Request For Proposal” document.

  • Send your newly defined project bid packages out to contractors for pricing.

  • Review your contractor pricing in each of the bid package categories you created and decide who you want to work with based on various factors. Then convert the bid package pricing into the overall project estimate as your complete project cost overview.

  • Translate your bid packages into an order of operations (construction sequence) and assign timeframes to each activity that must occur.

  • Re-analyze each contractor quote to confirm pricing and scope of work they will provide. Reach an agreement, and hire the contractor.

  • Review the project schedule & coordinate material orders with each contractor individually, and collectively.

  • Bring the first contractor on site to start the work per the project schedule and begin the construction phase.

  • Continue working through the project schedule acting as the leader of the team. Manage project issues & maintain project flow.

  • Ensure all work is completed in accordance with the project scope of work outline and wrap the job up.

Put Your Project into Motion.

  • Managing your own project isn't just about saving money—it's about taking control of the process. Using the same processes the professionals use will give you the confidence to make informed decisions, avoid unnecessary costs, and turn your vision into reality.
