The role of a Construction Manager is primarily focused on coordinating the construction process on behalf of the owner. This position involves managing the various elements of a construction project to ensure that it runs smoothly, stays on schedule, and remains within budget. The Construction Manager serves as a central point of communication among various stakeholders, including the owner, architects, engineers, and subcontractors.

This role does not typically involve overseeing the design of the project directly, as that responsibility lies with architects and designers. While managing subcontractors is part of the Construction Manager's duties, it is only a subset of the larger task of overall project coordination. Additionally, financing and land acquisition are generally handled by other professionals or departments within a construction firm, separate from the core responsibilities of the Construction Manager. Thus, the essence of the Construction Manager's role centers on ensuring effective coordination and execution of the construction phase to meet the owner’s objectives.
