7 Different Types of Remodeling & Construction Jobs

November 17, 2021

A career in the remodeling and construction industry is fast-paced and exciting. Furthermore, there are a variety of roles and responsibilities for different skill sets and interests.

If you prefer to work with your hands, you may want to consider a career in carpentry. That said, if you enjoy more business strategy and managing, there are plenty of opportunities in the office.

What are the different types of remodeling and construction jobs?

Generally, there are seven different types of jobs when working with a home remodeler or builder. And the job opportunities grow if a company does its architectural design in-house. Below, we speak about these various careers and their benefits.

Sales Consultant

If you love working with people, then a sales consultant might be a good fit for your personality. Selling projects is a critical aspect of both commercial and residential remodeling jobs. You are bringing in the customers so the designers and construction teams can stay busy.

In this position, the goal is to sell high-end design contracts. A high percentage of the design contracts also including construction services.

Architectural Designer

As an architectural designer, your responsibility is to help clients capture their vision. Daily responsibilities include schematic design solutions that fit client budgets and production schedules.

Not only do you need to meet the demands of each customer, but the designs must be buildable. The team has an easier time meeting the production schedule and managing profit margins when the projects are permit-ready. An experienced architect considers the needs of all of the participants. This manager creates the optimal plans that deliver quality results.

Interior Designer

As the building takes shape, it’s time to add the finishing touches that make it beautiful. Interior designers are an important part of this process. Your designer helps to select, order, and catalog all products. The design focuses on fixtures, lighting, tile, accessories, flooring, moldings, and more.

Interior design is a fine balance between aesthetics and budget. The designer is involved in the kitchen, bath, and built-in cabinet designs to match the desired production schedule. In addition to the permanent features for the building, interior designers also oversee features such as furnishing and décor.

Project Developer

Homebuilding jobs depend on project coordination to keep all contractors on track with the planning and schedule. As a project developer in the remodeling industry, your goal is to maintain client satisfaction. This is accomplished through timely, clear communication – including product updates and budget management.

Project developers often work hand-in-hand with the sales teams. Together they finalize estimates and create thorough project plans to match the client’s preferences. When the project is complete, the project developer reviews each client satisfaction survey to identify opportunities for improvement in the future.

Production Management

Among the most important of all home remodeling jobs is the production management team. This team oversees the master schedule for project staffing and subcontracts. These schedules match predetermined project milestones while prioritizing KA’s, gross profit, and customer satisfaction.

Production management oversees project developers by maintaining accountability for building and completing project packages according to plans. Additionally, management ensures that production has access to the necessary resources for project completion. Examples include tools, vehicles, clothing, and more.

Project Manager

The project manager works to maintain clear and timely communication that supports overall client satisfaction through all stages of construction. As a project manager, you finalize selections and supervise teams. Responsibilities include managing the scope of work changes, controlling additional costs, and meeting all KAs.

Additionally, a project manager is also involved in collecting payments as necessary. The project manager coordinates when the residential remodeling jobs have change orders. Communication is essential between the customer, contractors, and other involved parties.

Lead Carpenter

The lead carpenter oversees the carpentry team while maintaining schedule adherence and ensuring high-quality craftsmanship. All punch-list items must be completed to match the contract schedule. Additionally, the lead oversees the final sign-off coming from the project manager.

Not only are you working with the carpentry team to ensure quality, but it’s critical to be proactive with everything happening on the job. Responsibilities include safety, problem-solving, and communication with other trade partners.

Why Feinmann for Design-Build?

Read about our design-build service,  process, and what differentiates us from our competitors.

Learn About Design-Build

We loved having entire Feinmann team in our home and appreciated them treating it like it was their own. The work they did is all over-the-top gorgeous. They coached us to select products and finishes that will last a lifetime (and through our toddler), and the craftsmanship with which it was all executed certainly will hold up to time. I admire daily the integration of existing and new, and regret only that in time I’ll likely forget which is which. Feinmann is masterful at what they do. I really can’t say enough nice things about them, and their work.

- Cambridge, MA

From start to finish of the project our ideas were heard and creatively addressed. The quality of the final results are even better than we imagined. Our home feels completely new and we love the improved living space! As far as the team, they are fantastic, personable, timely, has great ideas and always seem to stay calm and in charge, ready to problem solve. The carpenters are a delight to work with and the quality of their carpentry and building skills are impressive, always smiling and offering a “can do” attitude.

- Leveling Up for Grand Entertaining

Feinmann is a top-notch company in every category! We have worked with them on three separate occasions: a complete kitchen remodel (2017), three bathrooms (2016), and a room addition (2011). Working with the Feinmann team was truly a great pleasure! Everyone in the company is committed to quality work, the projects were run proficiently and professionally, they provided the highest quality workmanship, and we always received timely responses to our questions and concerns. My wife and I would consider no-one else for our new project!

- European, Contemporary Kitchen Remodel

We are very happy with the experience we had with Feinmann in what was a pretty extensive remodel. First of all, their design team truly developed a great vision for the house, beyond what we had imagined. Through the remodel, which by its nature is an arduous process (living without a kitchen for a while), the Feinmann team was very collaborative and supportive, managed well and the results have truly transformed our house. We’re extremely happy with the outcome.

- Hosting Haven Meets Artistic Angles

Feinmann took a real interest in building a kitchen that would fit the design of the house and meet our needs. That was when we knew that they were the best choice for us. Anyone can rip out a kitchen and put in some new counters and cabinets, but we wanted someone who cared about design, style, and function.
