Let’s learn more about each of these occupational titles to help you make an informed decision․
A building estimator plays a vital role in auditing building projects, preparing cost estimates, and managing overall project expenses through negotiations with various stakeholders – suppliers, builders, contractors, engineers, and project owners.
Note that it’s essential not only to have practical experience but also to acquire knowledge of the theory, too.
A building scheduler is responsible for managing time and resources to ensure work is completed on time. The scheduler creates timetables for the entire project and maintains the calendar, taking into account the cyclical nature of the construction work and anticipating any possible disparities.
This position comes with its challenges as schedulers have to make decisions and adjustments, taking into account myriad factors: project manager requirements, pressure from clients, government restrictions, and more.
The contract administrator’s role doesn’t start until a building contract is in place. Thus, a contract administrator ensures the day-to-day running of the contract and keeps the liaison between project managers, building contractors, and clients.
It’s their duty to supervise and inspect the work in progress and manage defects if needed. We have a separate article on how to become a contracts administrator. Check it out for further details.
No construction project will come to its successful competition without professionals who fill in these positions and produce real results.
