Construction Project Management in Macomb County, MI

Project Management · Macomb County, MI

Every trade on your build, kept on one schedule

Construction project management keeps a build in order for the property owner, from the first dig through closeout. Delpres Services coordinates the trades and subcontractors and holds them to one shared schedule. We track the budget against written quotes and price each change before the work changes. We also keep the inspection schedule and update you as the job moves.

We manage builds in the lines of work we do ourselves. That covers excavation and site work, underground utilities, commercial concrete flatwork, asphalt paving and inground pools. We take on commercial and residential projects alike. We are based in Harrison Township and work across Macomb, Oakland, St. Clair and Wayne counties.

What We Handle

  • Trades and subcontractors coordinated on one shared schedule
  • MISS DIG 811 tickets lined up with each dig date
  • County permit lead times built into the start dates
  • Budget tracked against written quotes at each milestone
  • Changes priced in writing and approved by you first
  • Inspection dates planned, with the work ready for the inspector
  • Trades you hire directly brought onto the same schedule
  • Closeout with final inspections passed and the punch list done

Construction Scheduling and Subcontractor Coordination

Every build has an order. The dig comes first, and underground lines go in before the concrete and asphalt that cover them. Inspections sit between those steps. We set the schedule around that order, so each trade knows its start date.

Some waits are set by law. Michigan's MISS DIG law requires each excavator on a shared site to file its own dig notice. MISS DIG 811 asks for that notice at least three business days before the dig. A standard ticket stays valid for 21 days from its start date, so dig dates and tickets must line up.

County permits take time too. Any work that taps into or crosses a county drain needs a permit from the Macomb County Public Works Office. The office says a drain permit takes about 90 days from the day it is submitted. On storm drain and catch basin work that ties into a county drain, that wait goes on the schedule first.

Who Inspects the Work on a Macomb County Build?

One build can need sign-offs from more than one office. The local building department inspects work done under its permits. In Harrison Township, that covers building, plumbing, heating and electrical work. The Macomb County Health Department permits and inspects septic systems.

Each office keeps its own rules. Macomb Township's new home checklist says the approved plans must be on site for all inspections. In Washington Township, the base permit fee covers one inspection, and each added inspection carries its own fee. A failed inspection there costs money as well as time.

Order matters too. In Oakland County next door, a lot without public sewer needs septic permits before any building permit is issued. On those lots, the permit for septic system installation comes first. We keep the inspection schedule and the paperwork the owner's permit requires moving.

Budget Control and Project Closeout

Your budget starts from written quotes for each part of the work. We track costs against those quotes and show you where the job stands as each phase wraps up.

Changes come up during a build. A trench can turn up an old line, or you may decide on a wider drive. We price each change in writing, and the work changes only after you approve it.

Closeout means the final inspections have passed and the punch list is done. Lawn and pavement disturbed by the work are restored before we leave. You get the inspection and test records for your files.

FAQ

Project Management Questions, Answered

Common questions about project management around Macomb County and the rest of Metro Detroit. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.

Call (877) 633-5773

How much does construction project management cost?
The price depends on the size of the build and how many trades it involves. The length of the schedule and the site conditions matter too. We visit the site and put a free estimate in writing before any work starts.
When does a build need project management?
Coordination matters most when several trades share one site and the work runs through permits and inspections. A one-trade job, like a new concrete driveway, usually runs on our written quote alone. Call (877) 633-5773 and we can talk through what your build needs.
Can you manage trades I hire myself?
Yes. Trades you hire directly, like the electrician on a pool build, go on the same schedule as our work. Each one gets a start date and knows what has to finish before it starts.
Who schedules the inspections?
The permit holder requests each inspection. Washington Township, for one, now takes every permit and inspection request online. We keep the inspection schedule and flag each request when it is due. Work the inspector must see, like a sewer connection or pool steel, stays uncovered until it passes.
How long will my project take?
Agency lead times and the season set much of the pace. In St. Clair County, septic installs are barred from December 1 to March 1 without prior health department approval. A typical residential inground pool takes about 8 to 12 weeks from permit approval to water. You get the schedule before work starts, and we update it when dates shift.
How will you keep me posted during the build?
You hear from us as each phase starts and finishes, from the first dig through closeout. Decisions that need you come with the options and the cost of each. Call (877) 633-5773 when a question comes up.
