Q. What is the difference between a Project Manager and Superintendent? Why are both needed on a project and how do their job responsibilities differ?

A. Devcon Construction assigns a Project Manager and Superintendent to each project. The primary responsibilities for each position include the following:

Project Manager/ Estimator:

The Project Manager's function is to oversee and facilitate all aspects of estimating, scheduling, procurement and construction. All estimating, scheduling and purchasing is performed by the Project Manager, so you are dealing with someone who has first hand knowledge of the preparation of these items. His/her involvement in the process starts with pre-construction and continues through job close-out and warranty management. The Project Manager has the ability to commit the firm contractually. Devcon empowers its Project Managers to have total control over each project. Our Principal, Gary Filizetti can be as involved as requested, or as required, to facilitate each project.

Superintendent:

The Superintendent is the direct contact between the Project Manager and the mechanics and craftspersons performing the individual tasks. His/her job is to implement the plans, budget, schedule and monitor the progress on a daily basis as well as assist with updates on critical path schedules and deliveries. The Superintendent and Project Manager work together as a team to ensure that each project is delivered on-time and within budget.
