Project Management Ottawa
Ottawa renovations involve securing city permits, coordinating multiple consultants and trades, sourcing materials, and planning logistics. Each individual piece is simple but together they introduce hundreds of loose ends that leave room for error. Project management is how we take charge of your project and stay on budget throughout.
KV Construction is a small team of Red Seal carpenters, and we keep your project on schedule and within budget from planning through final inspection. Our licensed contractors schedule and oversee every phase. Since 2009, we've focused on quality projects where attention to detail is personal.
What Project Managers do in Ottawa Residential and Commercial Renovations
We become your one point of contact for your entire kitchen, bathroom, or addition project, or commercial build. You meet with us and your designer to confirm plans and create a project timeline. From the moment we start, we start scheduling trades with people like flooring experts, an electrician, and a plumber.
Each trade or expert has a specific purpose, but many will return again and again throughout the build. Not only can their work affect the other trades, but it often depends on it. For example an appliance delivery takes place toward the end of a project, but some finishing millwork may be required after the install. These tasks must be scheduled accordingly otherwise the entire project may become delayed.
Daily site visits and communication with construction team is critical. Our team is small and precise, not sitting in an office downtown. We're on site daily to build and to stay in control of your renovation or new build.
Look for Red Seal Certification and Experience
Our Red-Seal-certified carpenter brings over a decade of project management expertise to your build. The certificate is an important construction credential which requires testing and apprenticeship hours. But a certification alone isn't enough to demonstrate expertise; we bring hands-on carpentry experience.
KV Construction has planed, executed, and completed dozens of residential and commercial builds. We've served Ottawa since 2009 with a focus on projects where craftsmanship matters. Our team sets itself apart by focusing on one project at a time and being responsive and flexible to the owners needs.
How Project Managers Navigate Ottawa Building Permits
First-time renovators might feel lost in City of Ottawa permit requirements. We handle the entire process for you. Whether you're already working with a designer, or just looking for us to do the work, we make sure your plans are submitted to the city and your inspections are planned.
When any feedback arrives from the city, we quickly make required changes to the plan and arrange follow-up communications. As we work through the project we track approval status so you always know the cause of any delay and where things stand with your project.
Avoiding Common Construction Management Mistakes
Most experienced project managers have been forced to learn the hard way during their career. Past renovation problems teach important lessons for today. We apply our experience to prevent issues and keep the project moving forward. The most common project management mistakes are:
- Not defining the project scope
- Skipping detailed walkthroughs
- Not setting a 10% contingency
- Miscommunication with the owner, team, or stakeholders
- Mismanagement subcontractors or agreements
A common thread for construction projects is a project delayed or over budget. At KV Construction we're focused on one project at a time, so you get our undivided attention.
