| construction manager in training: Construction Extension to the PMBOK® Guide Project Management Institute, 2016-10-01 A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK� Guide) provides generalized project management guidance applicable to most projects most of the time. In order to apply this generalized guidance to construction projects, the Project Management Institute has developed the Construction Extension to the PMBOK� Guide. This Construction Extension provides construction-specific guidance for the project management practitioner for each of the PMBOK� Guide Knowledge Areas, as well as guidance in these additional areas not found in the PMBOK� Guide: * All project resources, rather than just human resources * Project health, safety, security, and environmental management * Project financial management, in addition to cost * Management of claims in construction This edition of the Construction Extension also follows a new structure, discussing the principles in each of the Knowledge Areas rather than discussing the individual processes. This approach broadens the applicability of the Construction Extension by increasing the focus on the what” and why” of construction project management. This Construction Extension also includes discussion of emerging trends and developments in the construction industry that affect the application of project management to construction projects. |

| construction manager in training: Career As a Construction Manager Institute for Career Research, 2017-05-20 SEVERAL OF TODAY'S MOST REWARD¬ING AND LUCRATIVE CAREERS can be found in the construction management field. Construction managers (or CMs) plan, coordinate, budget, and supervise construction projects throughout the building cycle. They are sometimes called construction project managers (CPMs), general contractors, or simply project managers (PMs, a term also used to refer to non-construction project leadership, such as software development). Construction managers may work for large corporations, residential and industrial building companies, government agencies, and nonprofit institutions. They may be direct employees of the company sponsoring the project; work for outside engineering, architectural, and construction contractors; or be self-employed. While the size of the individual project will vary substantially from a home renovation to an airport, for example, construction managers are found in virtually every industry, including aerospace, transportation and logistics, retail and homebuilding. The median annual salary for construction managers averages almost $90,000, according to government statistics. Employment is expected to grow by at least five percent through the coming decade, due to a combination of new project demand and retirement of experienced managers. Construction professionals may work at corporate offices; at a single construction site; or commute between several job sites. Most managers work at least 40 hours per week. Some 40 percent of managers are self-employed. Would a construction management career be right for you? Technical training and experience in the construction industry are required to get started. The profession also calls for good management skills, solid oral and written communication abilities, and analytical and planning skills. Are you a natural planner? Can you see the big picture - not just the immediate issues in front of you, but also the steps needed to reach a long-term goal? Are you good with science and math? Can you weigh competing alternatives to determine the best solution? Are you organized? If so, you may be well positioned to succeed as a construction manager. While a four-year college degree is not mandatory, a growing number of employers look for a combination of formal training and on-the-job experience when hiring a new building CM. Additional certification from a professional organization can be important to advancing your career. Many construction managers are specialists in a certain industry (such as renovating schools or building new office parks). Managers must also keep up-to-date on new building materials and techniques, and use sophisticated software tools to track project costs and schedules. If you have good analytical and interpersonal skills, you can enjoy a financially rewarding career in construction management. A combination of training, hard work, aptitude, and positive personal traits can help you achieve personal and professional satisfaction in the construction management field. |

| construction manager in training: Construction Safety Management Systems Steve Rowlinson, 2004-04-29 The construction industry has a distressingly poor safety record, whether measured in absolute terms or alongside other industries. The level of construction safety in a country is influenced by factors such as variations in the labour forces, shifting economies, insurance rates, legal ramifications and the stage of technological development. Yet the problem is a world-wide one, and many of the ways of tackling it can be applied across countries. Effective tools include designing, preplanning, training, management commitment and the development of a safety culture. The introduction and operation of effective safety management systems represents a viable way forwards, but these systems are all too rarely implemented. How can this be done? Should we go back to prescriptive legislation? This book considers these questions by drawing together leading-edge research papers from the proceedings of an international conference conducted by a commission (W099) on Safety and Health on Construction Sites of CIB, the international council of building research organisations. |

| construction manager in training: Elevating Construction Superintendents Jason Schroeder, 2020-11-28 To be a great superintendent, you need training. Without this, you may become defensive, learn to accept waste and low standards, or even espouse false concepts that will lead to certain failure. However, with proper fundamental training, learning from the best builders throughout history, and effectively using the modern concepts of lean, we can guide superintendents to have the best trained role in construction. Right now in our industry, project managers and project engineers are better trained, better paid, and are becoming leaders of the entire team. The positions of superintendents and project managers should be equal, but to be equal, we need to step up and take our place as the driving force of the project. This book will help you to do that and bring respect back to field positions everywhere. Before writing Elevating Construction Superintendents - The Art of the Builder, I had never found a book available for the art and form of being a superintendent. Yes, there are books about lean; yes, there are books about construction management; and yes, there are books about the skills of a superintendent, but there are none that cover the art of the builder in construction and the back-to-basics fundamental attributes of a true leader in the field. This is the first revision of the book we need and want for our wonderful builders in the field of construction. This book is filled with principles and actionable steps for assistant superintendents. I invite you to learn these, take massive action, and implement each step one-by-one. Please keep driving until everything on your project brings you joy. That is the measure of success. Expect more - Step up - Let's go |

| construction manager in training: Training-Within-Industry Job Programs for Improved Construction Safety Lesiba George Mollo, Fidelis Emuze, John Smallwood, 2023-10-06 The purpose of this book is to demonstrate how a Training-Within-Industry (TWI) Job-Program could reduce human factor-related harm in construction. The construction industry has a significant impact on issues relating to the health, safety, and well-being (HSW) of people in the workforce. It is important to acknowledge that workers' behaviour influences the safety management system (SMS) of construction projects either negatively or positively and that it is important for a management team to identify relevant behaviours and take appropriate action to solve problems. In most cases, accidents happen because of the results of human failure in the form of errors, violations and system failures. Human failure causes accidents and site management needs to reduce hazards that might cause such errors, violations and system failures on worksites. The chapters in the book address factors causing human failure on construction sites, how to mitigate errors and violations through SMS and ‘learning by doing’ and improving practice of using safety instructors on sites. The book closes with insights from a TWI-informed human failure reduction framework. This book provides valuable insights into safety management in a construction site context that can be applied to other areas. It is essential reading for safety managers, construction managers, researchers, and advanced students. |

| construction manager in training: The Successful Construction Supervisor and Foreman Paul Netscher, 2019-03-22 Construction is desperate for good, experienced, skilled and dedicated supervisors and foremen. Construction needs you. Being a construction supervisor or foreman is challenging, it's hard work, but it's also rewarding watching projects take shape under your watch. A supervisor's job is never boring - every day is different, each project is different, different locations and different people, all presenting new challenges.A construction foreman, foreperson or supervisor, supervises a work crew, or manages a section of work. They're at the coalface of every construction project - the critical link in the construction process. Good foremen and supervisors are essential to the success of every construction project and every construction company, indeed, they're invaluable. Yet, few managers and supervisors are prepared to mentor and train the next generation of supervisors and foremen. Most supervisors and foremen have years of experience on the tools, learning their trade, sometimes through apprenticeships, but mostly learning from others. These skills are focused on a particular trade or skill. But, being a supervisor is a different ballgame. Where before, as a trades-person they were doing the work themselves, now as supervisor they must organise and manage others doing the work.I'm a construction professional with 30 years of experience and the author of several acclaimed construction books, including: 'Successful Construction Project Management: The Practical Guide' and 'Construction Management: From Project Concept to Completion'. As a young engineer and later as project manager, I was fortunate to learn from many excellent supervisors and foremen. I wouldn't have achieved what I did without the foremen on my projects. They were the powerhouse on my construction projects, and I only had to steer the project to a successful conclusion. Now it's my turn to share my 30 years of construction experience and knowledge with construction supervisors and foremen. To explain why things are done in a certain way, why good paperwork is essential, but more importantly, to help supervisors and foremen become the very best. |
