Master schedule and critical path
We build a detailed schedule that sequences every trade, inspection, and long lead delivery, then track the critical path weekly. When something slips, you learn about it in days rather than months.
Construction Management
A luxury home involves dozens of trades, thousands of decisions, and a budget that only stays intact when someone is watching it every single week. That is what construction management is for.
The Discipline
Construction management is the connective tissue of a project. It is the master schedule that tells the plumber when the slab will be ready, the budget report that catches a cost drift while it is still correctable, and the field walk that finds a framing error before drywall hides it.
Laurcon provides construction management both as part of a full general contracting engagement and as a standalone service for owners who want professional oversight while retaining direct contracts with their trades.
Core Functions
We build a detailed schedule that sequences every trade, inspection, and long lead delivery, then track the critical path weekly. When something slips, you learn about it in days rather than months.
A line item budget is established in preconstruction and maintained against actual committed cost throughout. Reporting shows committed, spent, and remaining by category so the picture is never ambiguous.
Scopes are written carefully so bids are comparable and gaps do not appear later. We solicit from a qualified list, level the bids, and make recommendations with reasoning attached.
Windows, doors, tile, stone, appliances, plumbing fixtures, and custom millwork all carry lead times that can dictate the schedule. We track them from selection through delivery.
Daily supervision, milestone inspections, and documented checkpoints at framing, envelope, rough in, and finish. Problems caught early cost a fraction of problems caught late.
Every change is priced, documented, and approved in writing before work proceeds, with the schedule impact stated alongside the cost.
Punch list execution, systems commissioning, warranty documentation, as built records, and an orientation walkthrough with the homeowner.
Reporting
Transparency is a practice, not a promise. It shows up as documents on a regular cadence.
Work completed, work upcoming, decisions required from you, and any issues that need attention, with photographs.
Budget versus committed versus spent by line item, with variance explanations and a forecast to completion.
Current critical path, milestone dates, and any changes since the last issue, along with the reason for each change.
Begin
Every Laurcon project begins with a conversation about the land, the vision, and the budget. There is no obligation and no pressure, only an honest read on what it will take to build well.
