What does a construction manager do?
The construction manager is responsible for planning, coordinating, and supervising all stages of a construction project.
From start to final delivery, they act as a link between engineers, architects, and workers, ensuring that everyone works together.
How to become a construction manager?
To become a construction manager, it is recommended to follow these steps:
Education: most construction managers have a degree in civil engineering, architecture, or related fields;
Experience: gaining experience on construction sites is essential for developing the skills required for the role;
Specialization courses: courses in project management, people management, and occupational safety can complement your education;
Certifications: some certifications can be a differentiator in the job market, such as the PMP (Project Management Professional) certification.
What is the salary of a construction manager?
The salary of a construction manager can vary significantly depending on several factors, such as:
Experience: professionals with more experience tend to receive higher salaries;
Size of the project: large-scale projects generally offer higher salaries;
Region: the cost of living and demand for professionals in the region also influence the salary;
Education level: specializations and postgraduate degrees can increase compensation.
According to Glassdoor, the average salary of a construction manager varies between R$ 7,000 and R$ 15,000/month.
Main responsibilities of the construction manager and how we help
When an engineer becomes a construction manager, they take on the following roles:
1. Planning and budgeting
The construction manager prepares the project planning, including scheduling and budgeting. They must calculate estimated costs and manage financial resources to ensure that the project is completed within budget.

2. Team and supplier management
A construction manager needs to coordinate work teams, both internal and external, such as engineers, architects, workers, and suppliers.
The goal is to ensure that everyone fulfills their roles within the agreed deadlines. To assist with this responsibility, the ideal solution is to use the Visi by Construct IN software.
Learn a bit more about our solution
With our remote construction management platform, you can, in minutes, access the construction site's progress directly from your computer or cell phone and compare 360° images and videos of the construction.
If something is not as planned or needs adjustments, you can leave notes, tag the responsible person, and follow up without leaving the office. And best of all: everything is recorded in one place, facilitating control and decision-making.
3. Quality control
The manager is responsible for ensuring that quality standards are followed at all stages of construction. This involves constant verification of the materials, methods, and practices adopted on site.
Visi by Construct IN facilitates this process by allowing remote and real-time construction monitoring of all activities.
With tools like measurement in 360° images and integration with BIM, the construction manager can ensure accuracy in execution, control costs and schedules, and verify if materials and methods meet quality requirements.

4. Occupational safety
Occupational safety is a priority in any construction. The construction manager must ensure that all safety standards are followed to prevent accidents at the workplace.
On this topic, Visi can also help. Our platform uses Artificial Intelligence to ensure safety on the construction site, automatically identifying the lack of helmets in the project's 360° images.
With the INsight Safety tool, every time a risk is detected, such as the absence of safety equipment, a note is generated directly on the image, allowing for a quick and precise response.
Furthermore, the platform automates the generation of safety reports, saving time and ensuring that the project is always in compliance with regulations.
This facilitates communication and prevents accidents, promoting a safer working environment for everyone.

5. Communication and reports
The construction manager must maintain constant communication with clients, engineers, and others involved in the project.
Periodic reports on the construction progress are essential for monitoring progress and decision-making. Thinking about spreadsheets for construction managers in Excel?
No! With Visi, you have access to reports such as:
Non-Conformance Report;
Checklist Report;
All of these reports already have pre-defined templates. The information, along with the project data, is filled in automatically, and you only need to select and enter some data.
It is also possible to duplicate the previous report and adjust only a few details. Additionally, attaching photos is quick and easy, with just a few clicks.
6. Risk and issue management
In addition to identifying risks, problem management also involves the ability to adapt and adjust plans quickly as new situations arise.
In the context of construction, changes in terrain conditions, project adjustments, or delays with suppliers can create unexpected challenges.
The construction manager needs to have the flexibility to reassess processes, seek alternative solutions, and ensure that the impact of these problems is minimized.
Visi facilitates this process by providing real-time data on construction execution and a comprehensive dashboard. This feature allows the manager to make fast decisions based on accurate information.
With the possibility of conducting virtual inspections and obtaining automatic insights on compliance and safety, it is possible to identify issues before they become critical, adjusting strategies in a more agile and effective way.
Furthermore, BIM integration and data analysis allow for more robust control over project changes, ensuring that the project progress continues as expected, even in the face of unforeseen events.
