Construction Project Management

Day-to-day oversight of schedule, budget, quality, and trade coordination through project close-out.

What is construction project management?

Our project managers run the day-to-day of a project: coordinating trades, tracking the schedule and budget, managing submittals and RFIs, and keeping the owner informed.

This is the single point of contact role that lets an owner or GC avoid managing a dozen vendors and subcontractors directly.

  • Schedule tracking and trade sequencing
  • Budget tracking and change-order management

Our process

  1. Step 1

    Kickoff

    We confirm scope, schedule, budget, and reporting expectations with the owner.

  2. Step 2

    Execution

    We coordinate trades, track submittals and RFIs, and manage the schedule week to week.

  3. Step 3

    Quality control

    We walk the site regularly to catch issues before they become costly rework.

  4. Step 4

    Close-out

    We manage punch list, documentation, and final close-out with the owner.

Frequently asked questions

What does a Northlane project manager actually do day to day?

They coordinate trades on site, track schedule and budget, manage submittals and RFIs, and report progress to the owner on a regular cadence.

How often will I get updates on my project?

Reporting cadence is set at kickoff based on the project size and owner preference, typically weekly during active construction.

Can Northlane manage a project where subcontractors are already under contract?

Yes, we can step into project management for an already-contracted project and take over schedule and trade coordination.

Who handles change orders?

Our project manager documents and prices change orders and routes them to the owner for approval before work proceeds.
