Why real estate developers need to be hands-on

Eugene Bernshtam is a veteran of the real estate industry, which is why he knows the importance of being hands-on.

The job of real estate developer requires being present at all times during most of the industry’s key processes, from the purchase of land to planning, construction, and everything in between. Developers need to be around in case there are hiccups in the plan, to ensure that targets are met and that added expenses are kept to a minimum.

Developers have to oversee their projects as much as humanly possible to make sure everything goes according to plan, or at the very least, as close to the plan as can be. Their presence also lets contractors and crews know that everything has to run efficiently since everyone is being paid for their time and effort.

Some of the best developers, Eugene Bernshtam notes, are the first to arrive at a site and the last ones to leave. They are the ones who work hand-in-hand with architects, engineers, designers, contractors, subcontractors, and other key figures in the project. Real estate developers make sure that responsibilities are fulfilled, and deadlines are met.

Developers are, for all intents and purposes, the managers of the projects, the ones who set deadlines, and the ones who make sure that the project doesn’t crumble under all the pressure. And as Eugene Bernshtam has observed in the past, the burden of a failed project normally falls on the developer.
