Hiring construction management

[Clarence Ng]

Anyone with tips on hiring a construction project manager / management company?

My project was supposed to be finished by June but it has been falling behind, and with the economy opening up I need to do a 2 month travel that made me impossible to continue to be on site for the project, yet alone dealing with the headaches from the GC. The rough is done so we just need someone to manage the finish jobs starting with drywall, etc.

What are some of reasonable expectations for having a manager ? I want someone who can ensure the project stays on track (stop falling further behind), have the GC stick to the contract terms, and pay attention paid to the finishes.
