Fractional Project Management
FRACTIONAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT FOR BUILD & RENOVATION PROJECTS
Managing a construction or renovation project is complex. Tracking vendors, coordinating schedules, controlling budgets, and keeping all stakeholders aligned. That’s where I step in. We provide fractional project management for developers, builders, commercial property owners, and hospitality operators who need experienced oversight without hiring full-time staff.
We provide strategic and operational leadership grounded in nationally recognized standards used across the construction industries, including:
-
Project planning, programming, budgeting, and scheduling
-
Architect, Designer, consultant, and vendor coordination
-
Handle change orders, punch lists, and project closeout
-
Risk management and quality control
-
Deliverables tracking, communication oversight, and stakeholder alignment
Instead of hiring a full-time Project Manager, you gain:
✔ Senior-level leadership
✔ Scalable support
✔ Immediate structure and control
