One team, one number, for your Sturgis build.
iLevel runs your Sturgis build with a single point of contact. A project manager on site every week, subcontractor coordination, schedule and phase control planned around Black Hills weather and the August Rally, and engineering oversight on the mechanical and structural work.
Single-point-of-contact management for a Sturgis build.
Most of what goes wrong on a custom home goes wrong in the gaps between people. A designer hands off to a builder, a builder hands off to a dozen trades, and the owner ends up refereeing between them while the schedule and the budget quietly slip. iLevel is built to remove those gaps. One team runs the whole build, and there is one number to call. That single line of accountability is what project management means here, and on a Sturgis home it is the difference between a smooth build and a long one.
A project manager is on site every week, holding the build to the documented plan set in preconstruction. That manager sequences the subcontractors so trades do not collide, holds each of them to the drawings and the material list, and catches conflicts before they reach the field. Because iLevel carries the mechanical and structural oversight in-house, the trades are held to an engineering standard, not just to whatever is fastest or cheapest that week. That oversight comes from Jason Pedersen’s mechanical engineering background, and it does not take a week off.
Schedule and phase control mean something specific in Sturgis. Foundation and exterior work has to be sequenced around a real Black Hills winter, long-lead materials have to be ordered in time, and every calendar in town bends around two weeks in August. During the Rally, deliveries slow, suppliers reroute, and crews travel differently, so heavy material drops and concrete work get planned on either side of that window while interior phases carry the build through it. When weather or a supply issue moves something, the manager adjusts the sequence on purpose rather than letting the whole timeline drift.
Many of our Sturgis owners are building from out of state, some of them people who found the Hills through the Rally and decided to stay for good. Remote visibility is built into how we manage every project. A Ressio client portal keeps documents, decisions, and selections in one place. Weekly photo updates show real progress. And 3D Vista scans of the framing and mechanical rough-ins let you inspect what is behind the walls from anywhere in the country. You get the oversight of an on-site owner without having to be one.
Six things a project manager owns.
Single point of contact
One team, one number to call. Your project manager is your contact through the whole build, so you are never chasing separate trades or refereeing between a designer and a builder. The team that planned the home is the team building it, and the accountability lives in one place.
Subcontractor coordination
We coordinate a trusted network of Black Hills subcontractors under one point of accountability. The manager sequences each trade against the plan, holds them to the drawings and material list, and resolves conflicts before they reach the field, so the trades work together instead of tripping over each other.
Schedule & phase control
The phased plan from preconstruction gets enforced in the field. Trades are sequenced so they do not collide, long-lead items are ordered in time, and the schedule adjusts deliberately when weather or supply moves something rather than drifting an entire Sturgis build off its timeline.
Engineering oversight
Jason Pedersen’s engineering background carries into the field. The mechanical and structural work is held to an engineering standard, checked against the design, not just signed off as done. On a technical canyon or acreage home, that oversight is what keeps quality from slipping under schedule pressure.
Rally & weather planning
Managing a build in Sturgis means managing the seasons and the second week of August. Foundation pours get scheduled around the cold, heavy deliveries land on either side of the Rally window, and canyon or acreage access is planned so snow, grade, or a full town never stalls a crew day when it matters most.
Remote visibility
For out-of-state owners, the Ressio portal, weekly photo updates, and 3D Vista scans of the rough-ins keep you fully in the loop. You can inspect the framing and the mechanical systems from anywhere, so a Sturgis build never depends on you being able to drive out to the site.

What Sturgis owners ask about management.
What does project management include on a Sturgis build?
Project management is the single-point-of-contact discipline that runs your Sturgis build day to day. It means one team and one number to call, a project manager on site every week, subcontractor coordination, schedule and phase control, and engineering oversight on the mechanical and structural work. You are not chasing separate trades or refereeing between them. iLevel owns the whole build, so the accountability sits in one place from the foundation to the final walk-through.
How do you manage a Sturgis build when the owner is out of state?
Remote visibility is built into how we manage every Sturgis project. A Ressio client portal keeps documents, decisions, and selections in one place, weekly photo updates show real progress, and 3D Vista scans of the framing and mechanical rough-ins let you inspect what is behind the walls from anywhere. Plenty of our owners first found the Hills through the Rally and manage their whole build from another state.
How does iLevel keep a Sturgis build on schedule?
Schedule control starts with the phased plan set in preconstruction and is enforced in the field by the project manager. Subcontractors are sequenced so trades do not collide, long-lead materials are ordered in time, foundation and exterior work is scheduled around the Black Hills winter, and deliveries are planned around the August Rally window. When weather or a supply issue moves something, the manager adjusts the sequence deliberately rather than letting the timeline drift.
How does the Sturgis Rally affect an active build?
For roughly two weeks every August, traffic and lodging around Sturgis change completely. Material deliveries slow, some suppliers pause routes, and subcontractor crews travel differently. A manager who builds here plans for it: heavy deliveries and concrete work land on either side of the window, interior phases get scheduled into it, and the build keeps moving while the town is full.
Who is my point of contact during a Sturgis build?
One team, one number to call. Your project manager is your contact through the whole build, backed by Jason Pedersen’s engineering oversight on the technical work. There is no separate-contractor handoff and no finger-pointing between a designer and a builder, because the same team that planned the home is the team building it. That single line of accountability is the core of how we manage a custom home.
