Construction Manager

H Builds is a new, high-performance residential construction company in Washington, DC. We build renovations and new homes with quiet rigor—where comfort, health, and durability come from disciplined detailing and calm field leadership.

We’re hiring a Construction Manager to lead projects end-to-end in the field: planning, trade coordination, quality control, schedule, budget, and client communication. This is a hands‑on role with real responsibility and direct access to ownership.

Full-time, hybrid (Washington, DC). On‑site leadership is essential; remote work is flexible when the project allows.

• Typical project budgets: $250k–$1M

• No benefits at this time
  (early‑stage company)
• Performance‑based profit sharing
  tied to project outcomes:
• Schedule:key milestones hit and project delivered on time

• Run day‑to‑day construction operations on site
• Plan sequencing and lead trades with clarity and accountability
• Maintain a strong network of trades and suppliers; protect relationships and performance
• Track schedule, budget, and progress reporting—no surprises
• Own quality control: details, finishes, and high‑performance execution
• Lead jobsite meetings and client updates with calm, direct communication
• Ensure jobsite safety, cleanliness, and documentation
• Coordinate long‑lead procurement, inspections, closeout, and warranty follow‑through

• Residential construction management experience (renovations and/or custom homes)
• Strong trade/supplier relationships—or a proven ability to build them quickly
• High standards and sharp judgment: you catch issues early and resolve them cleanly
• Confidence with scheduling, budgets, and change management
• Comfort with project management tools and documentation workflows
