HELP: How to effectively manage contractors?
I am currently in the middle of a rehab which I plan to make a rental and then refinance. I have signed contracts with all my sub contractors, however, whenever I check on how things are going they are not happening at the pace I expected. I tried to put together a schedule in the contract but nobody would accept that. How do you manage contractors to show up on time and be timely getting the job done? I am constantly getting the run around since they have other projects and service calls. How do I get them to focus on my job specifically? I really don't like micromanaging them either but I believe I will need a project manager to move forward and provide oversight. If I don't contact them everyday I don't feel like progress is not being made. By the way all the contractors were highly recommended to me by group of investors. If any has any knowledge to share please do so! Thanks in advance.
