What to know about Construction management
Construction management is a delivery method rather than a job title, and confusing the two costs homeowners money. In a traditional arrangement you design a project, put it out to bid and hire a contractor to build what the drawings show. Under construction management you bring the builder in during design instead, to price the work as it develops, advise on how it will be built, package the trades and then either manage them on your behalf or take on the obligation to deliver them at a guaranteed price.

Prices depend on the details of your project. We only publish price ranges when they’re backed by real LokalMatch quote data or reliable sources. Until then, here’s what usually changes the price:
- Size and scope of the project
- Structural changes, such as moving or removing walls
- Plumbing, electrical and HVAC work involved
- Finishes and materials chosen
- Design, drawings and permits
- Condition of the existing house once it's opened up
- Access to the site and the timeline
How to choose construction managers in Melbourne
- Look for a contractor who has finished projects similar in size and type to yours, and ask to see them.
- Get a written contract with the scope, the payment schedule, the timeline and how changes will be priced.
- Ask who will manage the job day to day and how often you'll get updates.
- Check that they carry liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, and that their trades are licensed where required.
- Compare quotes on the same scope, and ask what each one leaves out.
- For structural changes, make sure an engineer or designer is involved where needed.
Questions to ask construction managers before you hire
- Who will pull the permits, and who will be there for inspections?
- Which parts of the job will you do yourselves, and which will go to subcontractors?
- How do you handle change orders and unexpected problems once walls are open?
- What is the payment schedule, and what is each payment tied to?
- Can you show me proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage?
- What warranty do you offer on your workmanship, and is it in writing?
- Can I speak with a few of your recent clients?
Construction management permits in Florida
Some construction management work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.
Licensing in Florida
General contracting and renovation
A person must be certified or registered to engage in the business of contracting in Florida. A certified contractor holds a certificate of competency from the department and may contract anywhere in the state; a registered contractor met the competency requirements of one local jurisdiction and may only work there. Ask which one your contractor holds.

Consumer protection
Unlicensed contracting is a crime in Florida: it is an offence to act as a contractor, or to advertise as available to do so, without being duly registered or certified, and the penalties rise for repeat offences and during a declared state of emergency. Contracts must also carry the Florida Homeowners' Construction Recovery Fund notice.

Common construction management questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
