At the end of the day the PM is just another contractor but part of their role is to ensure that the builders show up, the work is completed on time, that the contractor makes good any mistakes, that builders stay on the job and that the work is up to standard so that it doesn't fail an inspection.
These are all scenarios that will more than likely happen if you PM it yourself and you do not have the building knowledge/expertise or skills to complete this particular task.
This is what experienced PM's do day in day out and they and their skills will become more sought after as regulations continue to tighten within the industry.
Who do you think runs all the jobs for the residential housing companies and for the commercial builds?
In Australia a PM sits behind the desk and runs the job, often not even going on the site, this work usually undertaken by a site supervisor or superintendant. Here in NZ a PM is more likely to be on site or going to sites the majority of the time with the balance sitting behind the desk updating the build schedules.
