3. Meet with subcontractors and internal labor to ensure understanding of scope and expectations.
4. Perform QC and sign off on internal team’s & vendors’ work.
5. Teach, instruct, and assist internal labor to perform tasks as needed to ensure timely, quality work.
6. Order lumber and “off-the-shelf” materials and supplies.
