What a Lead Project Manager Actually Does
Project management in construction is not a desk job. Shahin is the active link between Cala Builders’ design team, licensed tradespeople, city inspectors, and the client — ensuring that ADU projects, room additions, kitchen remodels, and bathroom renovations stay on schedule, within budget, and code-compliant from start to finish. He manages permit applications and inspection scheduling, coordinates electrical and plumbing scopes of work, and keeps clients informed at every milestone.
Licensed to Build. Qualified to Manage.
Shahin’s dual role as both a licensed contractor and project manager means he brings decision-making authority to the field. He does not need to escalate every issue — he is qualified to assess, authorise, and resolve construction challenges in real time. That reduces delays, protects the client’s budget, and ensures that solutions meet California building code without requiring additional review cycles.
A Team Built Around Accountability
Shahin works directly alongside Mehdy Ebadat, Arghavan Ebadat, Eliya Ebadat, and Mehrdad Mogharebi — a core in-house team covering engineering, architecture, electrical, and plumbing. When you work with Cala Builders, Shahin is the person ensuring every member of that team is delivering on your project’s timeline.
