What does an on site construction production manager do?

MochaAlmondgt asked:


Do they have time to sit in front of a computer all day and chat on messenger? Do they do a lot of paperwork and computerwork? What exactly does a production manager do within this field, and what equipment is around them?

   Construction managers, also known as site managers or site agents, supervise and direct operations on a construction project to make sure it is completed safely, on time and within budget.

   Typical duties include:

   * meeting with architects, surveyors, planners and buyers before building work starts
   * planning work schedules for the job, using project management software packages
   * preparing the site by hiring staff, installing temporary offices and taking delivery of materials
   * liaising with the site workforce
   * monitoring progress, quality, legal compliance and costs
   * reporting regularly to the client.

   Construction managers are also the main point of contact for subcontractors and the public.
