Overview
Construction management is the strategic oversight and coordination of all elements involved in a construction project, from initial planning to final completion. It entails managing resources, schedules, budgets, and teams to ensure the project is executed efficiently and according to specified quality standards. Construction managers play a vital role in facilitating communication among stakeholders, mitigating risks, and ensuring the overall success of the project.
