Most people ask the same question day after day. “What is Construction Management?” This is My Major at school and this question still takes a lot to answer. This Question has a very long answer, so I’m just going to give you the quick answer… Construction Management is when a professional is managing a construction job as the competent person dealing with the budget, schedule, and quality of the work on the job. On most jobs the Construction Manager (CM) is the middle man between the owner/architect and the actual builders or tradesmen called the Sub-contractors. This type of managing is call the CM at risk method of managing. The other way CM’s manage jobs is they act as an owner representative to make sure that the architect and other CM at risk is following what the owner wants. They call this method the CM for fee method of managing. This is the very quick answer of what a CM is, and just a little taste of what a CM does. I hope this helps inform you all.
