Being put in charge of a construction project requires you have the abilities and skills needed to deliver results in the desired time frame. You should have a background or general working knowledge of construction management and scheduling to understand the required procedures and process in order to avoid problems and issues once work begins. In addition, you need to build flexibility into your schedule to make adjustments, like for weather, while still keeping work flowing to meet the agreed upon end date.
In today’s construction environments, many project managers rely on technology, like computer software and other applications, to help drive tasks and create schedules. However, not all of your contractors may be as tech savvy as yourself and the primary members of your project team. As a result, you need to be able to provide hard copies of any materials your contractors will require to help make it easier for them to deliver their tasks efficiently and on time.
