What does a Construction Manager Do?

Although Construction Managers usually play no direct role in the actual construction of a structure, they typically schedule and coordinate all design and construction processes, including the selection, hiring, and oversight of specialty trade contractors. Construction managers also team with workers in other occupations, such as engineers and architects.

The following is a list of the primary duties of a Construction Manager:

• Coordination of contract documents, drawings, specifications and schedules.
• Qualify and coordinate contractors performing the work.
• Determine the maintain budget requirements.
• Find and qualify specialty contractors and suppliers.
• Hold pre-bid meetings for the purpose of making sure the contractors understand the project and what is expected from the contractor.
• Receive and review bids for correctness and adherence to contract documents.
• Prepare construction contacts and schedule.
• Review the work in progress to assure compliance with specifications, schedule and pay requests.
• Review change orders for accuracy and reasonableness of cost.
• Maintain cost account records.
• Provide interpretations and resolutions to issues that arise.
• Verify certificates of insurance and when required bonding for each contractor.
• Review contractor’s submittals for accuracy.
• Conduct inspection of project and produce punch list items for contactors to correct.
• Verify the receipt of all guarantees, affidavits, lien releases, operations manuals, as-built drawings and owner training.

Just the association between the Construction Manager and the Owner or Developer provides that “piece of mind” that they have a knowledgeable advocate on their side.
