Our home is the single largest investment most of us will make, so trusting the building of it to a total stranger can be a daunting prospect.

That's why expertise and experience count so much when selecting a project manager to oversee construction, says Gene Hollands, director of Gene Hollands Building.

"You want to be confident that the person responsible for your home is not only capable in terms of construction, but also knows how to deal with the various contractors on site."

With more than 18 years' experience in the residential and light commercial sectors, Gene Hollands has built a reputation as a hands-on project manager and builder. For the featured project, as well as overseeing his own team, he also co-ordinated subcontractor site access, maintaining an open dialogue between them, the designer, engineer and homeowner.

"When you can't be on site, you want to know that someone is representing your needs. That's what I do," says Hollands.
