Construction is a team sport. If you are a good project manager, then we want to be on your team.
Why? Because great project outcomes happen when there is good project management.
The project manager is the guy who calls the plays and has the playbook at his fingertips. He is the one guy that has all the pieces of the puzzle right in front of him. He guides your team but lets each member do his particular job.
If he's a yahoo, you're screwed. And it won't be pleasant.
Teamwork and professionalism will carry you a long way in this industry.
So how do I define a good project manager? Well the ones that we continue to have excellent results with are the ones who have their head in the game, walk the walk, and don't just push around stacks of color coded paper. We all make mistakes. The secret is to minimize any impact, provide tangible value engineering and get the job up right and up tight.
What you don't want is the CYA yutz who makes it a point to push every piece of project related tree particles your way, hoover your man hours with redundant housekeeping and refuse to take ultimate responsibility for his work.
If you know a good PM, pass our name along, we've got extensive references and samples for your perusal. We'll bend over backwards to work with the good guys. As for the micro-managers, CYA'ers, and all around dolts.....please don't call us and we won't call you.
