Running more jobs than you can be at? Hire a licensed Construction Supervisor by the hour or by the task: project management, 3D scans, site checks and building-inspection coverage.
Magno & Co helps general contractors, remodelers and trades in Somerville, Cambridge and Greater Boston when they need an extra hand. Mateus Magno (MA Construction Supervisor CS-123658, HIC #220484, Lead-Safe Renovator Supervisor) can manage a job for you at $65/hour, scan a space with a Matterport 3D camera, check your sites first thing in the morning, or meet the building inspector when you can't be there. You get notes and photos after every visit.
Project management: $65/hour. Everything else on the menu is quoted per job after a quick call, so you know the cost before I start.

Frequently asked questions
How much does project management cost?
Project management is $65/hour. Other services on the menu, like scans, site checks and building-inspection coverage, are quoted per job after a quick call.
Can you meet the building inspector for me?
Yes, for building inspections, with your OK as the permit holder and where the building department allows a representative. I meet the inspector at the scheduled time, walk them through the work and send you the result with photos. The permit, and responsibility for the work, stay with you. Plumbing, gas and electrical inspections stay with your licensed trades.
Are you licensed?
Yes: Massachusetts Construction Supervisor License CS-123658, Home Improvement Contractor #220484, and certified Lead-Safe Renovator Supervisor.
What do I get from a Matterport scan?
A link to a measurable 3D model of the space that you can walk through and measure online. Contractors use it for bids, design, existing-conditions records and progress photos.
Do you do one-time visits or only ongoing work?
Both. Book a single building-inspection visit or site check, or hire me hourly to manage a job from start to finish.
Which towns do you cover?
Somerville, Cambridge, Medford, Arlington, Everett, Watertown, Belmont, Brookline, Boston and the rest of Greater Boston.
