The general contractor will build them. We need someone on our side of the table making sure they build them on time, on budget, and to spec.\nThis is not a construction management role. It is an owner's representative role. You are our independent check on the builder across three sites, from predevelopment through certificate of occupancy.\nPurpose of the Role\nProtect Axcent's capital and schedule across all three properties so every home reaches certificate of occupancy on time and within the mortgageable budget.\nWithout this role, our Founder absorbs GC oversight, draw verification, and change-order adjudication himself. The budget then erodes through change orders no one challenged and slippage no one pushed back on.\nWhat You'll Own\nGC Agreement Negotiation Support. Advise on scope, pricing, schedule, change-order terms, and completion assurance for a single contract covering all three properties. Structure it to protect Sage House while staying compatible with HUD draw and completion-escrow requirements. The Founder approves and executes.\nZoning Readiness. Track zoning approvals at each property against the construction schedule. Counsel handles the legal work. You make sure no approval gap ever puts the GC on standby.\nBudget Control. Own budget versus actual across three properties, tracked by phase, not as a lump figure. Every dollar of variance gets identified, sourced, and reported before it compounds. Nothing reaches ownership for the first time at draw stage.\nSchedule Control. Own a master schedule across three overlapping builds and push the GC to hold it. Identify slippage early and force recovery rather than documenting the delay after the fact.\nDraw Integrity. Verify work-in-place behind every GC draw request and coordinate the HUD draw process with our lender and pro forma partners. Sage House does not pay for work that is not in place.\nIssue and Change-Order Adjudication. Serve as first point of contact for field issues. Resolve what fits inside scope and budget. Escalate anything touching budget, schedule, scope, or design with a recommendation and quantified impact attached, never a bare question. Keep the log current.\nMonthly Reporting. Deliver a written status report on the same date each month: budget versus actual by phase, schedule versus plan, change-order log, risk register, and the decisions required from ownership.\nThe Right Fit Has\nA track record as an owner's representative or construction oversight manager delivering projects on time and on budget. Multi-site residential or healthcare preferred.\nConstruction contract literacy and demonstrated GC negotiation experience. You can read a change-order clause and state exactly what it will cost the owner if the GC exploits it.\nFamiliarity with HUD-financed construction, Section 232 or a comparable draw and inspection regime, preferred. Willingness to work inside HUD requirements is required.\nThe ability to read construction documents and inspect installed work critically against them, catching a deviation from spec before the GC discloses it.\nThe disposition to treat GC representations as claims to be verified, not facts to be recorded. You have told a contractor no on a change order and kept the job moving.\nA base in, or the ability to be regularly on site in, the Phoenix and Peoria metro.\nHow Success Is Measured\nTotal program cost lands within approved budget plus contingency.\nCertificate of occupancy achieved at each property inside the approved schedule window.\nEvery draw approved on first submission with no lender or HUD rejection.\nEvery escalation arrives with a recommended decision and quantified cost and schedule impact.\nEngagement and Fee\nIndependent contractor, fixed scope, predevelopment through certificate of occupancy on all three properties. Single point of accountability to the Founder. No direct reports.\nSubmit a fee proposal structured in phases: predevelopment and contract negotiation, then construction oversight. Tie fees to milestones and quote as fixed, monthly, or percentage of cost.\nTo Apply\nSend your resume and a brief cover letter describing a project where you held a general contractor accountable and what it saved the owner. Include your phased fee proposal.\nEqual Opportunity Statement\nAxccent, LLC is an equal opportunity organization.
