1.) IMPOROVED EFFICIENCY

• Construction managers help drive improved efficiency in construction projects. 

• Construction managers help drive efficiency in construction projects through close coordination of all of the various
stakeholders involved in the project. 

• By having a deep understanding of the flow of construction projects and how to bring about the designed
outcome, construction project managers are capable of ensuring that each group involved in a construction project are
operating as efficiently as possible throughout the duration of the project.
2.) FACILITATED COMMUNICATION

• A huge component of what makes a successful construction project is a communication between the various
stakeholders in the project. 

• Communication is key between entities involved in a construction project. Poor communication results in costly delays,
or an inaccurate translation of the owner’s vision into the real world. Either of these outcomes is not ideal, and avoiding
both requires every entity involved in the project to be on the same page.

• Communication between the owner and the project management team is the first level of communication. This occurs
throughout the duration of the construction project but is especially important early on.

• One important aspect of a construction managers job is to facilitate communication between different groups involved
in the project. This includes between the design and architectural teams, as well as between the engineers and general
contractor. 

• It is through communication that the owner can be assured that the project is moving along within the budgetary and
timeline constraints and that the finished product is going to align with their stated objectives.
3.) GREATER ACCOUNTABILITY

• There are a couple of key ways that construction management provides greater accountability for each of the entities
within the construction project. First is through a detailed reconciliation of invoices against work completed.
Construction managers will check invoices against the stated work completed, and, if they find a discrepancy they will
negotiate remediation immediately.

• The second way that construction managers enhance the accountability of other people involved in the construction
project is through document retention. Construction managers actively retain all documentation related to the project
and pass this on to the owner at the time the project is completed. If there is ever a dispute in the future, owners will be
able to go back and find exactly the information they need quickly and efficiently.
4.) EXPERTISE

• Effective construction managers have a high degree of expertise with the entire process of bringing a construction
project to completion. 

•  In their role as a construction manager they may rely on this expertise to a high degree, but in order to do their job
effectively, they must understand what each of the other entities in a construction project is doing.

• construction managers must have the expertise to effectively identify risk. Accurately identifying and minimizing key
areas of risk to construction projects is essential in today’s age. As the size and complexity of construction projects
have increased, the necessity to be aware of the level of risk that is associated with the project is consequently higher.
5.) TIME MANAGEMENT

• Communication also plays a part in time management. While scheduling software is helpful in detailing
tasks, when problems arise, it sometimes takes senior project managers to see inefficiencies and how to
“crunch” time. 

• When possible, it's best to build flexibility and responsiveness into the schedule, Peck says, stressing that
managers should look at places where more resources, manpower or equipment could speed tasks.
6.) QUALITY CONCERNS

• The larger the project the more specialists you'll need (i.e., team members focused on specific project
management aspects).

• Every project requires some rework or has quality issues—everybody has their bad days, and you have to
deal with that. In large projects, we build in time as well as a cost contingency.
