Resources are limited
Resources are limited, so it should be spent more efficiently.
Considering the economic conditions of the world and the increase in the cost of housing, it is necessary to optimize construction costs as much as possible.
For this reason, all engineers should be familiar with the world's modern science in the field of construction management.
In the 1970s, many large general contractors and architectural/engineering firms recognized the growing need for professional construction managers (CMs), and the market for construction management services has grown since.
What is construction management?
Construction management is a discipline and management system to promote execution of capital projects for owners.
Who is CM?
A professional construction manager (CM) augments owner staff with preplanning, design, construction, engineering, and management expertise to optimize results regardless of project delivery method. The CM represents the owner and project; deals with construction, private, and public organizations; and executes specified duties (e.g., management of funds, scope, schedule, contractor skills,? design? and construction quality, contract and procurement flexibility, and avoidance of delays, changes, disputes).
If you are interested to learn more about the methods of increasing productivity in the science of construction management, I recommend reading the book "Modern Construction Management" written by Frank Harris.
