Written by Posted On Thursday, 27 July 2017 08:38

An project manager supervises a house flip from start to finish – from foundations to interior design! They can be unbelievably helpful, usually managing and inspiring an entire team of designers and contractors to get the project done. So should you hire one?

Hiring a project manager for your house flip is a surprisingly good idea. They can act as a leader – making decisions, assigning tasks to other members of the team, and moving in to assist when one area of the project is falling behind.

You may object to hiring a project manager initially, as it’s an additional cost, and is something that you may feel you can cover yourself. However, it really could end up saving you money in the long run in terms of project efficiency and staff productivity.

What does a project manager do?

In a typical workday, a project manager, might create the day’s action plan, oversee work completed, discuss plans with other contractors, and check on the progress of the project with you.

Managing all this requires will require a vast knowledge of house flipping, including everything from the construction aspects to the interior design finishes. You should make sure that you ensure they have adequate experience.

Your project manager will keep in contact with you to establish good relationships and ensure your customer satisfaction. You will need to make sure they heck that they are fully qualified – and if your hire a freelance PM - that they have freelance or contractors insurance.

So, should you hire a professional project manager for your home project? Maybe you have a full-time job, and don’t know if you would have time to manager your house flip? Or this is your first time, and you want an extra pair of eyes to check everything for you and ensure it runs smoothly.

If this is the case, then yes! Hire someone to oversee your house flip!
