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.

Construction management costs in Murray

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 Murray

  • 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 Utah

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 Utah

  • General contracting and renovation

    A Utah contractor licence belongs to the business, not to the person who qualified it, and the only lawful way to work under someone else's licence is as an officer or a W2 employee of that licensed business. If a qualifier leaves, both the qualifier and the licensee must tell the Division in writing within ten days and the business has sixty days to replace them.

  • Consumer protection

    Lending and borrowing a licence are both criminal offences in Utah: the lender for aiding and abetting, the borrower for contracting without a licence. Paying an unlicensed worker as a 1099 contractor exposes both of you, because the Division can act against the worker for unlicensed contracting and against you for hiring them.

  • New-home building and warranty

    The Residence Lien Recovery Fund is an alternative source of payment for contractors, labourers and suppliers whose liens are voided because the homeowner qualifies for protection under the Residence Lien Restriction and Lien Recovery Fund Act. The Division warns that available funds are extremely limited, and that condominium units in a building with more than two dwellings are usually not eligible, so it is not a substitute for checking a licence.

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.
