Construction managers are a lot like mothers, really. They have to set schedules, keep an eye on finances, make sure everybody is where they're supposed to be every day (and doing what they're supposed to be doing), ensure there are no safety hazards around, and, in general, keep everyone happy. Sounds like quite the job already. But the details are even more dizzying.

More specifically, construction managers are hired to lead and oversee a variety of building projects from start to finish. The jobs can range from a small remodeling or renovation job to the construction of a large commercial structure, such as a school or hospital. About two-thirds of American construction managers are self-employed, and are hired by clients because they have appropriate work experience and, increasingly, at least a bachelor's degree in a construction-related field [source: Bureau of Labor Statistics]. As of May 2010, the median annual wage for American construction managers was $83,860 [source: Bureau of Labor Statistics].

While some people use the terms " general contractor" and "construction manager" interchangeably, these are actually two different jobs. Construction managers are typically involved from the start of a project, helping the client with the initial planning, as well as the selection of an architect and general contractor. Construction managers may also perform the first two tasks, then serve as general contractor. True general contractors aren't involved in the building process until the initial planning and design work is completed [source: Austin Stanovich].

There are several specific tasks that construction managers perform: project management planning, cost management, quality management, contract administration and safety management. Here's a brief look at what each entails [source: Construction Management]:

Project management planning. This initial stage involves laying out a plan for the entire project, including the various jobs that need to be done, the materials required and a timeline.

Cost management. Construction managers must constantly keep tabs on costs, making adjustments if unexpected issues or complications arise.

Quality management. Projects often involve numerous contractors and subcontractors; construction managers must make sure they're all doing a good job and not cutting corners.

Contract administration. Lengthy contracts with the client are part of all construction projects, and it's the construction manager's job to ensure all of the contract provisions are being met and all parties are satisfied.

Safety management. Construction sites are filled with potential safety hazards that construction managers must be aware of and guard against.

Above all, construction managers have to keep everyone in the loop during the entire project, from clients and architects to contractors and subcontractors, and quickly attend to any problems that arise. Sound like an interesting career? Read on to see how you could become a construction manager [source: Construction Management].

tips on how to be succesful

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This article was written exclusively for ForConstructionPros by small business loan provider Balboa Capital.

As a construction business owner, you know that your construction project manager can greatly affect the success of your business. You want to work with someone who has an in-depth knowledge of the construction industry as well as strong leadership and decision-making skills. Additionally, having experience dealing with finances and budget management can help to save time and enable projects to be completed on time and on budget. The project manager will need to know what types of construction equipment to acquire and how much to spend on different aspects of the project. Successful construction project managers must be able to coordinate and oversee an entire project from start to finish, while taking the appropriate precautions to minimize risks in the field and maintain the team's safety.

Successful construction project managers should have a wide variety of skills and experience to help them to lead a team and oversee various projects. For starters, a good educational background can prepare them for the construction industry. Common types of degrees that are pursued include architecture, building sciences, construction management and engineering. This provides the foundation for a future career path in the construction industry and provides a good understanding of the theoretical ideas of construction practices.

To be successful in the industry, a construction project manager also needs the right experience.

There is no substitute for work experience in the field. Construction project managers combine their educational background with real-world knowledge to oversee their teams and carry out projects. When at a construction site, project managers will be exposed to situations that they may not learn about in classrooms, and being able to make decisions and react in a timely manner will help them excel.

With today's technology, computers and construction-specific software are constantly used to assist and expedite many different construction projects. Knowing how to correctly use software can significantly cut costs and help to keep the team - and project - on schedule. In order to fully take advantage of your software's capabilities, the project manager should be experienced and knowledgeable enough to thoroughly train his or her team members. Great construction project managers will support the team wherever they can and help its members to succeed by using all the tools at hand.

Managing a project and a full team of diverse individuals is not an easy task, but those who prepare accordingly and take the appropriate actions know that doing so will significantly increase the chances of success on a project.

REGINA, SK --(Marketwired - August 31, 2016) - PCL Construction Management Inc. achieved a significant construction milestone today: substantial completion of the new $278.2 million Mosaic Stadium in Regina.

PCL was recognized for their hard work by the City of Regina today during a key ceremony attended by approximately 300 guests. PCL has been working toward this goal for more than 800 days since we first broke ground at Evraz Place in June, 2014.

"The Stadium project, as part of the larger Regina Revitalization Project, represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create an iconic community gathering place in an urban entertainment district," said Mayor Michael Fougere. "PCL has been a vital part of this endeavor, and we thank them for their diligence in getting the project completed on time, on budget, and safely."

Sean Hamelin, PCL Regina District Manager, said, "The talented and dedicated individuals who worked on site and in support of this project should be extremely proud of what they accomplished. They worked collaboratively, sharing in the success and setbacks, with a common goal of creating something they can be proud of. They have achieved that goal and created a facility the City and Province can be proud of."

As well, being a citizen of Regina, Hamelin thanks the City and the Province of Saskatchewan for their vision of "building a multi-purpose sports and entertainment facility that will meet our community needs for many years to come."

The stadium is the first landmark project of the three-phase, $1-billion Regina Revitalization Initiative being undertaken by the City, and is being heralded as one of the most recognizable buildings in Regina, the Province, and the Canadian Football League.

In addition to being the new home of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, the stadium has the built-in flexibility to host different sports and entertainment events at various scales and capacities, throughout all four seasons. It is a modern improvement over the existing stadium, with its translucent spectator roof and a continuous, wide concourse around the facility. Enhancing the spectator experience is that 68 percent of the seats are located in the sunken lower bowl, all with unobstructed views of the field from each seat. Another new feature is the general admission lounge located on the west side of the facility that is accessible to all fans.

Now that substantial completion has been met, the focus is on operations and event testing. The public will get a chance to see stadium progress at the second scheduled "Sneak Peak" on Sept. 3, 2016. The event, which runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., is being held in conjunction with Rider Fan Day. The first football game to be played will be on Saturday, Oct. 1, 2016, when the University of Regina Rams square off against the University of Saskatchewan Huskies in a Canadian Interuniversity Sport Canada West football game.

For additional project information, including a project timeline and photo gallery, see the Stadium Project website.
