The role of the Maitre d'Oeuvre (Project Manager) is to:

• Advise the client;
• Design the project;
• Supervise and coordinate the project;
• Assist in the choice of builders and artisans;
• Analyse and negotiate the estimates;
• Assist in the financial conclusion of the contracts.

For people living in one country trying to complete renovation work in another, the use of a locally based Project Manager can keep the work rolling. Most Project Managers submit regular progress reports. The widespread availability of e-mail and digital cameras allows owners to see how the renovation is progressing.
 
 

By having renovation work completed in stages, with interim bills, CAFPI can arrange for funds to be released, as they are needed, so that you don’t pay interest sooner than necessary.
