Organizing a garage conversion project with a specialized building team

Project Organization

Our project entails transforming a garage into a legal living quarters and will require a diverse group of specialists. Team members include the project manager, who will oversee and organize the endeavor from start to finish. Moreover, the project manager will be in charge of the budgeting. With only $75,000 to work with for the entire project, the project manager must make sure that resources are allocated properly. The city inspectors must be involved at every step to ensure no future financial setbacks related to lawsuits or due to the future sale of the home. Thus, the project manager must find out what fees, if any, apply for the regular inspections especially those related to plumbing and electrical wiring.

A plumber, an electrician, a general laborer, and a foundation-layer will also be part of the team. The project manager will supervise each of them, and payment will be due upon completion of services. We will hold one meeting with all team members present before commencing the project. It is up to each team member to state what he or she needs in terms of materials for financing. Also, if any team member cannot work while the others are there for practical concerns then we must be aware of scheduling concerns. Each member of the building crew will be properly certified in order to meet city inspection guidelines.
