We have a page for project managers and recommend you read it. There are  would be and wishful thinkers, who do courses on the internet and within a few months they think they can run a building site and know all about construction. Sadly it is not the case and causes projects to be late and building standards to be less than they should. Beware of this if you are seeking a project manager. Only use a professional project manager with years of experience. The same goes for construction contractors too. Choose carefully and use professional builders. Your home is too important to have problems. Costs escalate in construction very easily so be careful. The choices are yours to make, but understanding this all better helps you make the right choices.
