01 / The decision

What does this hire really come down to?

You manage projects where minor oversight results in major capital loss. When your contractor requests a draw, how do you verify the work is actually finished to your specific design standards? We look for project managers who walk sites daily rather than reading reports from a home office. You need someone who catches structural discrepancies before they become expensive change orders later in the process. We evaluate their ability to spot missing fire blocking or misaligned mechanical rough-ins during construction.

Your projects require constant adjustments to keep subcontractors moving without compromising the building envelope. We look for individuals who demonstrate how they address a site conflict between an electrician and a plumber before it stalls the entire floor. You must decide whether your project manager has the technical authority to stop a crew that ignores site safety protocols. We test how they reconcile architectural drawings with field conditions to ensure your final asset functions exactly as you intended.

Do you currently struggle with project managers who rely on the contractor to define what constitutes a finished unit? We interview professionals based on their ability to enforce your specific quality requirements from foundation through punch list. You need to know if they possess the technical vocabulary to hold a general contractor accountable for building code compliance. We filter for people who maintain daily logs of actual labor on site to protect your budget against claims of unforeseen field delays.

02 / Questions

What do we check before you see anyone?

  1. 01How do you verify structural integrity before subcontractors install the drywall?
  2. 02What specific field markers confirm that the mechanical equipment is installed level?
  3. 03How do you document deviations from the electrical plans for owner review?
  4. 04What steps do you take when site progress contradicts the contractor reports?
  5. 05How do you confirm that building materials match your original specifications?
  6. 06What is your process for checking insulation coverage in external wall cavities?

03 / Context

Where do we find people who are not applying?

  • We identify professionals who move from larger merchant builders or regional development firms because they prefer the hands-on oversight required by individual asset owners. These individuals often seek environments where they manage a single project lifecycle instead of overseeing multiple sites through a detached regional office. They move when they want to influence build quality directly rather than just processing administrative paperwork. We target people who understand the specific technical nuances of asset classes like high-density multifamily or commercial retail spaces.
  • We focus on candidates currently employed at owner-operator firms or vertically integrated development groups who want more autonomy in decision making. These people possess practical experience with the nuances of capital improvements and ground-up development across varied project types. They typically seek new roles when their current firm stops pursuing specific asset classes or shifts their focus away from hands-on field management. We verify their background by confirming their history of managing similar project scopes for owners who require high levels of oversight.

04 / Pitfalls

Which hiring mistakes should you avoid?

  • Hiring based on broad project experience rather than specific technical ability to enforce design details.
  • Expecting a project manager to oversee site quality without giving them clear authority to stop contractors.
  • Assuming the general contractor will self-report quality issues without an owner-side representative verifying the work.

06 / Questions

What do owners ask before they hire?

What is the typical timeframe for placement?

Timeline depends entirely on your project complexity and the specific technical requirements for the role. We provide regular updates on active leads and market conditions during the search.

How is the recruiting fee calculated?

Our construction management search follows a permanent contingency model with no fees due upfront. You only pay a recruiting fee if you successfully hire a candidate based on your signed client agreement.

Do candidates require specific certifications?

Certification requirements depend on the asset type and local building code mandates. We confirm that candidates hold the necessary state licenses or professional credentials during our screening process.

How do you vet technical expertise?

We ask candidates to walk us through specific examples of diagnosing structural or mechanical installation errors. This reveals their actual field experience rather than just their general knowledge of construction.

Will a candidate accept a counteroffer?

We focus on candidates who have clear, professional reasons for leaving their current role, such as a desire for more field-level responsibility. We vet their motivation early to ensure they are looking for a long-term transition into your specific asset environment.

When do we pay the recruiting fee?

No upfront fee. You pay only if you hire under the standard contingency agreement. The signed agreement sets the terms; read the fee page before authorizing the search.

How long does it take to see a short list?

The scope of the job, candidate availability and your interview decisions affect the search. We explain the market response and agree next steps rather than promise a numeric deadline.

What if our chosen candidate gets a counteroffer?

We ask about the reasons for a move before an introduction. You still need a clear offer and an honest account of the job; an increase in pay alone may not resolve why someone considered leaving.

What are the replacement terms?

We offer a candidate replacement guarantee on standard search agreements. The applicable period and exact terms are set out in the signed client recruiting agreement.

What do you not do?

We do not sell job-board reposting or send an unqualified resume stack. Standard permanent search is not hourly consulting or a retained assignment. Different engagements require agreed terms.
