Metro Detroit
It is a Friday evening in Metro Detroit and a customer is texting you photos of an empty job site, asking why nobody came. The drywall was supposed to start, the tile is backordered, and the change you agreed to on site last week was never written down or priced.
With project management in place, every job has a schedule, a weekly update for the customer, a log of what happened each day and a change order process that gets the change priced and signed before work starts. One person owns the calendar and the communication.
The texts slow down. Your customers know what is happening before they have to ask, changes get paid for, and you can be on one site without losing track of three others.
Tap the ones that sound like your week.
2,007 plumbers operate in Metro Detroit, open a median of 37 years. Clean numbers and steady systems are what let one of them pull ahead.
The names a customer compares you with, by Google review count.
We build the schedule, the contact list and the update rhythm before work starts.
We coordinate trades, deliveries and inspections and keep the schedule current as things move.
Every change gets written, priced and signed before the crew does the work.
We run the punch list, collect sign-off and hand off warranty paperwork to the customer.
What we report every month: Share of jobs on schedule, Change orders written and billed, Days of delay and their causes, and Punch list items open at closeout.
A project manager owns the schedule, the trades, the materials and the communication for each job. They are the person a customer hears from and the person a sub calls when something moves. In smaller shops that job lands on the owner, which is why it slips.
The fee depends on how many jobs run at once, how long they last and how complex they are. A steady flow of kitchens and baths is very different from a whole house renovation or light commercial build out. We quote a fixed monthly or per project fee after a short call.
A change order should state the change, the price and the schedule impact, and get signed before work starts. Verbal changes on site are where most remodel profit leaks out. A simple form on a phone makes it easy enough that it actually gets used.
Tools like Buildertrend and similar platforms hold schedules, daily logs, change orders and customer updates in one place. They work when someone keeps them current. We set up the software you have, or help you choose one, and run it day to day.
Most customer anxiety comes from silence. A short weekly update with what happened, what is next and what you need from them heads off most worried calls. When something slips, say so early, with the new plan.
You know the work, but you can only be on one site at a time and the schedule lives in your head.
The right move once volume is steady, but a salary to carry in slow months.
We run schedules, change orders, daily logs and customer updates for your jobs, alongside your crews.
