Construction Guardian Contractor Services
Flexible Project Support Without Full-Time Overhead
Experienced construction management and jobsite support without the expense, commitment, and administrative burden of adding another full-time employee.
Need an Experienced Project Manager Without Hiring One?
Construction Guardian can become an extension of your company. We help established builders, remodelers, restoration companies, and general contractors manage projects, communicate with homeowners, coordinate subcontractors, document progress, and maintain quality standards.
A full-time project manager may cost approximately $1,400 per week in direct compensation. After payroll taxes, insurance, workers' compensation, benefits, vehicle expenses, fuel, phones, equipment, recruiting, training, supervision, overhead, and profit are considered, the real cost can approach $2,300 per week or more.
With Construction Guardian, you select the level of support your projects require and pay for professional services only when you need them. No long-term payroll commitment. No paid downtime between projects. No recruiting or turnover headaches.
You focus on building.
We help manage the rest.
