Construction Management Careers
Construction managers coordinate the design and construction processes on all types of projects – from conceptual development through the final coat of paint. The work is detailed and requires the ability to juggle multiple tasks, deal with many kinds of people and make quick decisions. You may be required to:
- Prepare bids and project estimates
- Negotiate contracts
- Ensure specifications are met
- Track schedules
- Hire and oversee subcontractors
- Monitor budgets and costs
- Monitor code and safety compliance
- Supervise materials purchases
- Present change orders
- Submit progress reports to owners
The proliferation of laws dealing with building construction, and the need to ensure worker safety and comply with environmental regulations has expanded the scope of construction management. As a result of these challenges, employment of trained construction managers is expected to grow. And prospects are good for self-employment in small construction businesses.
