Construction managers are also called project managers, contractors, and construction superintendents. The duties of construction managers vary with the size of the project. On small projects, such as remodeling a home, construction managers oversee all of the work. In this case, a construction manager may be a skilled construction worker or contractor. Large projects, however, are divided into many parts.
Managers usually oversee only one phase.
That phase might be site preparation, sewage systems, landscaping, or road construction. Other phases are building construction and building services, such as electrical. The main manager receives reports from assistant project managers, superintendents, field engineers, and crew supervisors. While construction is going on, managers monitor the progress. They keep track of when materials are delivered and how fast they are used.
