What is Construction Management?
Construction management is a professional service that provides a project’s owner(s)
with effective management of the project's schedule, cost, quality, safety, scope, and
function.

Construction management is compatible with all project delivery methods. No


matter the setting, a Construction Manager’s (CMs) responsibility is to the owner
and to a successful project.
Role of Construction Project Manager
Construction managers, also known as construction project managers, oversee and allocate resources
for various construction projects. A great construction project manager is skilled in both the technical
skills required for the job and in leading and directing their team. Construction project manager
responsibilities are what guide a project to success. Projects can vary from residential, commercial,
and industrial buildings to bridges and skyscrapers.

The main construction project manager responsibilities are overall project planning, distributing
resources, time management, risk management, creating benchmarks, managing the budget,
managing staff, and managing relationships with key stakeholders.
