At the helm of this and every other hard hat project, from cementing a parking lot to constructing an apartment building, is a construction project manager (PM). The PM has the primary responsibility of planning a particular construction job and overseeing its progress along the way.
What is a Construction Manager? Construction managers obtain work permits, hire contractors, troubleshoot emergencies, schedule walkthroughs and keep clients informed on work timetables and progress. Construction management is ideal for someone who has a general interest in building and design. Architecture might seem like too much drawing. Civil engineering could seem like too much science. Cost estimating is too much math. Carpentry might be too much manual labor.
