Decision ImpactThe Project Manager is expected to make daily field decisions that affect project schedule, cabinetry quality, client satisfaction, vendor and installer performance, budget accuracy, and company operations. Decision-making authority may include installation sequencing, installer coordination, site logistics, quality control direction, vendor and installer performance feedback, and recommendations related to subcontractor or employee replacement or corrective action. Because a cabinet ordering or measuring error can affect lead times, cost, and the client relationship, any issue that may affect schedule, budget, billing, vendor payment, or project completion must be communicated and documented promptly. The goal is not to assign blame, but to identify issues early, solve problems efficiently, and improve internal systems. Budgetary Responsibility Project budgets are created and maintained by ownership, the General Manager, design, purchasing, and accounting; however, the Project Manager plays an important role in protecting the budget through field awareness, accurate measurements, order verification, communication, and early issue identification. The Project Manager is expected to identify conditions that may create added cost, scope changes, schedule delays, material or cabinet changes, design conflicts, or potential change order requirements. These issues should be brought to the General Manager, ownership, or purchasing promptly so that a decision can be made before work proceeds whenever possible.
