What is a construction manager?

Answer 1

A construction manager is responsible (directly or by oversight) for all construction scheduling, inspections, safety, code issues, material purchases, materials stored, equipment (from tools to cranes), field administration and site personnel, vendor relations, departmental budgets, reviewing job/project costs and determining reasons (and ways to prevent them in future) cost variances and well as working closely with sales staff, estimators, permitters and accounting personnel.

Answer 2

Construction management is the overall planning, coordination, and control of a construction process from the start to the end. The objectives of project management are to produce a project that meets client requirements on budget and schedule, and at acceptable risk, quality, and safety.

Project managers often earn their positions by proof of efficient management on similar value projects. The development of team building is essential for their success in managing projects. This results in high quality construction with steady and harmony progression. Good construction staff avoid mismanagement of construction materials, project site untidiness, and construction defects, hence the increase of project total cost would be avoided.
