What is a Construction Management
Construction Managers (CMs) plan and coordinate a wide variety of construction projects in the built environment. Projects include all types of needs: vertical construction, industrial, process, marine, and heavy civil. CMs are salaried or self-employed managers who lead, advise and oversee construction processes from conceptual development through design and procurement, final construction, and project commissioning. The professional CM focuses on ensuring the project is completed safely, in accord with contract and professional practices and is done on time and within budget.
