A Day in the Life
Your day begins with a glimpse of the whole project. That means that you review your previous day’s work and plan for the work that is required for the current day. This may involve discussing some delays or problems in respect of building architecture with the builder’s team and being involved in a budget-related meeting.
Majority of your day is devoted to reviewing various reports and the contract documents. You are the first person to deal with any emergency situation in case of shortage or schedule issues. It depends on the day whether you should act quickly or everything should be discussed with the architect.
In the evenings, you normally prepare yourself for your report or preparation for the next meeting. There are times when the week is slow, and there is just paperwork involved. Other times, the week is hectic and involves site visits and phone calls. The Construction Project Manager does not have two identical weeks because there will always be something new in each building project.
