ELHAM KHOSRAVI says, "God Sent!I called ICM in July 2024, just a week after the owner, Fred Runco, had undergone major surgery. Despite being in recovery and on medication, Fred was available 24/7 to understand every detail of the job. He earned my trust to the point where we started a $1M project with just a brief LOI, later finalizing a 50-page AIA contract one month into construction.Building out a 10,000 sq. ft. daycare in just five months is an incredible achievement on its own, but doing so while overcoming major obstacles makes it even more remarkable. Fred Runco is the most professional, compassionate, and understanding person Ive ever worked with. He has built a team that is unparalleled in the construction industryfrom the workers on-site to the project managers, every single person was respectful, knowledgeable, and dedicated to the success of this project.The Three Biggest Challenges We Overcame:1- Architect Issues & Drawing DiscrepanciesMidway through the project, I had to terminate my architect due to major discrepancies in the drawings. This could have derailed everything, but ICM stepped in and resolved all the issues, securing approvals not just from the city but also from my overly meticulous landlordat every stage of construction.2- A Landlord Who Made Construction an Ongoing BattleFrom the very beginning, my landlord was a constant obstacle. Every demand was nonsense, every approval was a struggle, every step required extra justification, and the delays they caused could have easily derailed the project. ICM didnt just manage the constructionthey managed the landlord, too. Fred and his team adapted, rescheduling subcontractors 24/7 to ensure we stayed on schedule. Despite all the interference, ICM delivered on time and exceeded expectations. Their ability to navigate difficult personalities and high-pressure situations was nothing short of extraordinary.3- Financial Hurdles & Payment DelaysDue to complications with my loan, I was unable to pay ICM for over two months. Despite this, they never stopped working, never cut corners, and even helped me navigate the financial situation with the bankall while still delivering the project on time.I couldnt have asked for a better general contractor. Fred saved me and my business, turning what should have been the most stressful experience of my life into one of the most magical. ICMs work was so outstanding that Im already thinking about expandingjust to have the chance to work with Fred and his incredible team again.Hats off to Fred, his team, and the system he has built!"See more

Johnnie P. says, "I hired a deck contractor to rebuild my wooden deck and to assemble a 900 lb. aluminum pergola on the deck. After the deck was built and the pergola assembled, I found out the contractor had not followed the manufacturer's guidelines for reinforcing the deck substructure to support the weight of the pergola. Other than that, the contractor did an excellent job of building the deck, and the deck passed the county's building inspections. I have a 544 sq. ft. deck with maximum seating for around 20 people. I needed better assurance the deck could support more than just me, my wife, and a couple of friends. To make a very long story short, I decided to have better support added to the pergola. But first I had to find a contractor to move the pergola out of the way. Six companies responded to my inquiries; five made site visits. I explained the situation and showed the manufacturer's recommendations to each. Some said the horizontal supports might work, others said they could very likely sag at some future point (sag in my mind meant it could lead to a structural failure). I hired J&J Masonry, Construction, & Home Repair because Jairo's recommendations provided the most support, and his price was the most reasonable. Two days after the pergola was moved, Jairo and his team (5 total men) arrived on time. It was very clear they had worked together before, knew what needed to be done, and how to do it. They removed almost all of the deck boards. They ran vertical 2x6 support beams across the width of the deck, and double 2x6 vertical support beams beneath those beams across the width of the deck. At the intersection of the upper and lower beams is where the pergola legs will sit (once they were moved back). Beneath each of those intersections, they installed frost footings with a 6x6 post to support a pergola leg. (Note: The upper 2x6 vertical supports combined span 12.5 inches wide and the full width (16 feet) of the deck floor. This is significant, because it gives the pergola contractor a lot more latitude when reinstalling the pergola.) I now have full confidence that the deck can and will support the pergola in extreme weather, up to and including, the manufacturer's highest rating of Category 2 hurricane winds (96-110 miles per hour). I was very impressed with their attention to detail, professionalism, and ultimately the end result. I highly recommend J&J Masonry, Construction, & Home Repair for your deck needs."See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

What do construction project managers do?

Construction project managers help in all stages of your construction project, starting from the very first step. Typically paid a percentage of a total project cost, they are part of the design and planning process and help ensure seamless communication between the design parties and the construction team. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, their scope of work includes preparing cost estimates, budgets and work timetables; interpreting and explaining contracts and technical information to other professionals; reporting work progress and budget to clients; collaborating with architects, engineers and other construction pros; selecting subcontractors and scheduling and coordinating their tasks; responding to work delays, emergencies and other problems; and ensuring compliance with legal requirements, building and safety codes, and other regulations.

The work of construction project managers may seem very similar to that of general contractors, but there are some critical differences. One difference is that, unlike most general contractors, project managers are not engaged in the actual construction — they are onsite overseeing the work of subcontractors. Another key difference is that project managers are hired during the design phase, while general contractors are hired after plans have been made. The project manager is generally paid a percentage of the total project cost, while the general contractor is more typically paid according to the bid they gave to build your project.  

How much does a project manager charge per hour?

You may choose to hire a construction project manager for your residential or commercial project. For the hands-on homeowner who wants to be involved in home construction but isn’t comfortable hiring subcontractors, a construction project manager can oversee these relationships and supervise labor. Typically, construction project managers charge a fee that is a flat percentage of the total construction project cost. This may range from 10 percent to 15 percent, depending on the company and the services they provide. This means a $30,000 home remodel project would have a construction project management fee of $3,000-$4,500. Hiring a construction project manager generally precludes the markup on subcontractor labor charged by a general contractor. The drawback to this choice is that, unlike a general contractor, the construction project manager won’t be financially responsible for the work of the subcontractors. For larger projects, you may hire a construction project manager who will also hire a general contractor. This provides the benefits of the general contractor along with the management services of the project manager, who will be on board from the beginning. The construction project manager will be involved in the design phase and work with the architects and the building crew, facilitating a smoother overall process.

How do I find out if a contractor is licensed?

It’s important to know if your project requires work by a licensed professional, as licensing laws can vary by state, locality, and job details. You can find general licensing information online at the government websites that handle occupational licensing for a given profession in your state or location. Some states designate a project cost over which you have to hire a licensed contractor. To find qualified licensed contractors, search your state’s licensing board. For example, in California, the Department of Consumer Affairs operates a searchable database through the Contractors State License Board. In some states, contracting licenses are provided at a regional level. You can find links to specific databases on BRB Publications’ Occupational Licensing page. Red flags that a contractor may not be licensed or may be providing an expired or false license number are unreasonably low bids or a request for complete payment upfront. For more, check out our tips for smart hiring on Thumbtack.

What is a contractor license number?

A contractor license number is proof that your contractor is operating their business legally, that they have the proper documentation required by your state or region, and that they are competent in their area of work (electrical, plumbing, construction, etc.). Licensed contractors should freely advertise their contractor license number. If not, you can request it before considering them for hire. You can also research your contractor using their license number. The database for your state will indicate the field they are licensed to work in; whether they are up to date on insurance, workers’ compensation and bonds; and whether they have any consumer complaints issued against them. If the licensed contractor you are hiring does not have employees, they are not required to carry workers’ compensation. Each state or region will have their own database for licenses, such as the State of Oregon Construction Contractors Board. For more, check out our tips for smart hiring on Thumbtack.
