Property Project Management Services

Because Projects Come In All Shapes And Sizes

One of the reliable services First Community Management provides to association and cooperative associations throughout Chicagoland is expert Project Management.

 

Since 1998 neighborhood associations have placed their valuable projects’ trust in First Community’s hands, no matter how large or small those jobs might be. In that time, we’ve smoothly and professionally overseen projects on numerous types of Chicago area properties, such as:

  •             High-rises and mid-rises
  •             Townhomes and single-family homes
  •             Vintage and landmark properties
  •             New construction – defect remedies
  •             Loft conversions
  •             Co-op apartment buildings

Occasionally, your building’s electrical wiring may require updating, the plumbing system may need replacement, or the roof may be beyond repair and require replacement. These large projects often require significant oversight, and as a board member of your Association, you may be tasked with developing an action plan to complete the project on time and within budget.

 

That’s where our time-tested, seasoned project management team can step in—seamlessly guiding you through the entire process, from scoping out the project and delivering a proposal for management services to leading your community every step of the way, from conception to completion.

Our Project Management Principles

Today, First Community Management proudly oversees the day-to-day operational activities of over 100 cooperatives, condominium and townhome associations in the city of Chicago and its surrounding suburban neighborhoods. There’s a reason for our success, and it begins with our client-focused, Project Management goals, ones we embed within each and every project we manage.

Those proven business principles, designed to create a seamless and worry-free process for your association and its Board members, encompass these important tenets:

  • Improve the efficiency of your entire PM process from start to finish
  • Minimize project disruptions including city ordinances, permits and building codes
  • Reduce costs overall for your association or cooperative
  • Enhance the quality of project outcomes

When our PM team brings all of these things together, your project, no matter how big or small, will progress more smoothly from conception to completion. In the end, this will accomplish the goals of your association while improving the living conditions of its members, all while making your community an overall better place to reside in.

 
“As a Realtor I run into property managers and management companies all the time. I wanted to let you know that your firm, and especially Jeff Sidor, have been great to work with during my role as a board member for our community. Jeff has always been responsive and timely with respect to my many requests.”
