Building a new home, an addition to an existing one, or another new build can be both exciting and daunting, especially for busy property owners. Thankfully, there are Estate Managers. These professionals use their management and organizational skills to oversee every aspect of a new build and make it less stressful on the property owner. Here is why they are your best ally.

Managing Every Detail

Attention to detail is a crucial part of the Estate Manager’s duties and responsibilities, and they use this skill during each stage of the building process.

An important part of the Estate Manager job description is to take the time to learn about and understand the day-to-day operations of your property. This vital information will help them to manage even the smallest detail of your new build.

Estate Managers will often keep comprehensive notes about all facets of construction at private estates, from blueprint to move-in. Supply, tool, and equipment inventories, meeting minutes, and employee and supplier payments represent just a few of the many important pieces of information the Estate Manager records.

Their notes serve them well in their role, and they also benefit the homeowner who can see at a glance how close their new build is to being finalized.

Your Right Hand

Your busy schedule may mean that you and your family are away for extended periods, which can only add to the stress of a new build. Unless, of course, you have hired an Estate Manager, who is always there to oversee it all.

Along with detailed notes and clear communication, your Estate Manager will let you know, in real time, about any issues or delays. In the event that your go-ahead is required on any aspect of construction or design, you can rest assured that they will call you right away.

Your Pivotal Point of Contact

Clear communication is at the heart of every new build home. Without it, no construction project would be able to progress to the final stage. When an Estate Manager is overseeing a build at one or multiple properties, there is no need to worry any activity will cease because of delivery delays, scheduling conflicts, or similar challenges that can crop up.

Because they are experts at clear and effective communication, an Estate Manager knows how and is not hesitant about communicating constantly with contractors and their workers. After all, it is their job to ensure your build looks exactly as you and your architect envisioned it.

Full Project Management

As your advocate, the Estate Manager’s role is to ensure that every detail of your new build is exactly how you want it. When things go wrong, as they typically do with new builds, you can know that your Estate Manager is there to ensure that costs remain within budget, quality of workmanship is high, the needed materials are there, and contractors stay true to their contracts.

Where a construction or supplier team just is not up to par, your Estate Manager can be the trusted professional who makes the decision about who to hire and whether or not to switch suppliers.

Closing New Builds Is Their Specialty

Your Estate Manager is ready to manage the completion of your new build should you be unavailable. They can be relied on for all of the essential parts of build closure, including the completion of punch lists, final inspections, and walkthroughs.

As their mandate is to keep everything progressing smoothly throughout the build, your Estate Manager will continue to communicate with all construction teams to ensure everything is as it should be.

When it is time to close your build, your Estate Manager’s role shifts to the management of your domestic staff to ensure they have received the needed training to begin their duties right when you require them.
