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.
FCM's Project Outcomes Tell Our Success Story
Shining examples of our project management outcomes around Chicago, along with the kind words spoken by the many association and cooperative Board members that we’ve collaborated with.
Within the past few years our skilled Project Management teams have provided expert oversight on these larger, and more challenging, projects:
- Hot water riser replacement for a 16-story high-rise in the South Shore neighborhood
- Removing and replacing rear wooden stairs and decks at 20, 3-story townhome structures in River North
- Replacement of the main electrical system in a 92 unit, vintage lakefront property within the Rogers Park area
- Large Bucktown loft condominium project that included a complete tear-off and new roof replacement of 6,000 square feet, along with replacing wood decks and some partial masonry work
- Removal of the old existing exterior material and then rebuilding the exterior walls of a new construction condominium structure in Forest Park. The project also involved the careful removal and reinstallation of steel balconies for the affected units.
