What is Construction Management?

Construction Management is the overall planning, coordination, and control of a construction project from inception to completion. It encompasses a wide range of activities including project planning, budgeting, scheduling, procurement, resource allocation, risk management, and ensuring compliance with safety regulations and building codes. Construction managers oversee the project, manage the team (architects, engineers, contractors, subcontractors), and ensure the project is completed on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards. Common software tools are used for scheduling (e.g., Gantt charts), cost estimation, and document management.
