 Introduction:
• Responsibilities of a Construction Manager
There are certain tasks that are performed by construction managers. These
include:
– Quality management. Construction projects quite often involve a number
of contractors and subcontractors.
• One of the most important jobs of the construction manager is making
certain everyone is doing quality work and not cutting any corners
along the way.
– Cost management. A good construction manager is constantly on top of
costs and makes the necessary adjustments when unexpected
complications or issues arise.
– Safety management. Construction managers need to be able to identify
and eliminate possible safety hazards for the good of everyone on the job
site.

 Introduction:
• Responsibilities of a Construction Manager
– Contract administration. It is the job of the construction manager to
ensure that every provision of the contract is being met and that all parties
involved are happy.
– Contractual Communication . Construction managers need to keep all
parties involved well informed throughout the whole project. It includes
the
• client,
• the architect
• any contractor or subcontractor involved.
• If issues arrive, the manager must be in the position to deal with them
immediately.
