Construction Manager

A construction manager is involved in personnel management at the construction site. He ensures that materials are delivered on time and that tools are available on the work site. He also administers the construction budget. He will request work order changes and make decisions as to building practices in compliance with building codes. He could also be responsible for meeting with consultants, clients, engineers and inspectors.

Project Manager

The title of project manager has taken on broader dimensions since 2000. Project managers oversee all elements of a project, which could include manufacturing, construction and marketing. In a large corporation, for example, a company might have a multiphase construction project. The project manager would oversee the administrative needs of the project, including budgeting and funding, but would have an on-site construction manager involved in the day-to-day personnel and site supervision. The project manager becomes the "face" of the project.

"The difference between a PM and a CM is that the construction manager does not care about the cost of the project because he just wants to get things done, while a project manager does care about the cost of the project."
