I have a GC, why would I hire a project manager?
Regardless of how reputable a general contractor is, they have an incentive to
protect or enhance their profit margin. As much as they may have your best
interest at heart, they will want to walk away from a project knowing they made
the most profit and there is nothing wrong with that. As a result, the general
contractor’s interests doesn’t always align with those of the owner. This places
the general contractor on the other side of the table.
The intention of the project manager is always to increase the efficiency of the general contractor to the benefit of the owner. It’s in their best interest to meet— and exceed—the owner’s goals for schedule, budget, and quality of construction. Since the PMs goals align with the owner, that places them on the same side of the table.

OUR PROJECTS
We help Plan your project
Planning your remodeling or building project is an essential and crucial part of any residential project. We set proper expectations about what can be delivered, by when and for how much. We negotiate reasonable and achievable deadlines and milestones among homeowners and trades. Before the project kick-off, we will help you:
• Identify and clarify the scope of the project
• We help develop a plan for the project
• We help develop the project schedule to suit your needs
• We also create procedures to support the project objectives
We organize your project
We organize your kitchen, bath, basements, addition projects into phases and
task lists and assign tasks to trades and monitor the project to make sure we
are on time and under budget. We organize all trades in a manner that they are
in sync with other trades for a smooth transition. We pride ourselves at juggling
different deadlines, tasks, risks and QA issues – so you don’t have to.
We Communicate so you don’t have to
One of the most critical steps in your remodeling/construction project is the right things are being communicated to alleviate future issues. Let’s face it, most homeowners are not well versed in construction processes enough to understand trades languages. We enable confident, clear and concise communication within the trades and owner. This helps eliminate grey areas,
decreases confusion and increases accuracy.
Cost and Time
The number one reason most homeowners hire us it so effectively mange time
and budget. We negotiate reasonable and achievable deadlines and milestones
among construction trades and homeowners. Too often, most contractors are
looking out for themselves and end up compromising the necessary steps, and
ultimately, the quality of a project’s outcome.
This is not to say there may not be project delays, however, having a us on board will ensure that you will be informed immediately about how these changes will affect the timeline and budget. We help you work through these changes so the project gets back on track and to final completion.

Our knowledge is control
We are control freaks and that is where most homeowners need us the most
because we are continuously measuring, checking and correcting throughout
the project. This is important because it ensures the quality of the project is not
compromised. Not only are we concerned about the quality, we also make sure
applicable local building codes are met.
We are a wealth of Experience
Our experience is drawn from past successes and failures to make sure
mistakes won’t happen on your project. We understand the importance of and
are able to visualize while still able to focus on the minute details of day-to-day
tasks. It may be tempting to cut out the project manager to save a few dollars
however having a competent project manager overseeing your next project will
most likely save you time, money and headaches!

Testimonials
It was late in our remodeling project after we have lost some money to a contractor that we were directed to BlueTape to help us manage this project. They came in with an unbiased mentality to ensure that we are most satisfied during our project. Funny enough they are always carrying a blue tape with them to highlight issues.
