key barrel should be changed tomorrow.

Why?

First rule as a customer .Change a lock after trades have finished if they have had access to a key etc .You never know if a duplicate has been cut (This includes all so called Banham security locks, they are easily copied ) You only need the night latch lock changed . Same for when Domestic staff leave etc .

Its disappointing that I can’t argue with advice like that.
however, you could say the same for family and friends, you never know what they are up to either.

Must remember to change the locks when my current butler's tenure expires 😄

Isn't that the modern way now

Started long ago, it's just getting worse.
When it comes to it, there's only one boss and that's the owner. Be it a project manager, interior designer or the hands on contractor, in case the s*** hits the fan, they should be kept informed and up to date, whoever's in charge on site.

Don't forget the chauffeur and the limo keys.

Many projects the "chiefs" want the trades as far away from the client as possible .And in some cases the client would never ever talk to the "trades" . Ive worked on projects where if the client came . We all had to leave any part of the property they might visit and most certainly not to even "greet or smile " !

That's a different point. altogether, though.....and understandable, in some cases.

Clearly the question you came here to ask has since been answered but, from information contained in subsequent posts, I can't help wondering what value the project manager brings to this party.

And that is the million dollar question! If I knew then what I know now I would’ve PM’d the renovation myself - much less stress and I wouldn’t have lost most of the tradespeople he got in for me. Hindsight is a wonderful thing!
