A Day In The Life Of A Construction Project Manager

Anyone looking to get into this, please understand that although there are degrees for construction management, you will need several years of experience in the field to understand each aspect of construction and do your job correctly. A course in project management is great, but will not prepare you at all for what most construction managers do. If you don't already have a background in construction I would seriously consider another career choice or finding a way to get job site experience every week as you learn. Also, if you can't handle extreme stress and are prone to anxiety/mental strain this is not the career for you. You will break deadlines, you will cause your company losses and you will have to deal with accidents at some point in your career. I got into doing this training myself as I went, with no formal education and 10 years later I'm still learning something new and taking on more work than the year before.

Thank you for putting together & including the Personal Organization Planner. I have created / adapted a few similar forms for myself to use. I'm hoping to add a few of these to my personal toolbox. Keep up the great content!

Such an effective communicator. Thanks for the video!

Thank you! I learned so much while still laughing ....you are very witty in your delivery. I appreciate your personality and the way you just tell it like it is.

Excellent video on what it really takes to be a productive PM! Love the tip on not becoming a victim of "email answering". Myself and many other PM's were victims of this early on in my career.

Great video Jason! Some great ways to turn chaos into control

Thank you Jason

Thank you! I truly enjoyed this!

Thank you for this introduction. I'm currently seeking a job as a paint project. Mamajor I've been painting for over 30 years and you are spot on. I just wanted to hear someone else's point of view. Thank your knowledge, wisdom and sharing your experience..

I like the sense of humour ,it kept me connected

Wow , thank you sir for uploading this message ,I have learnt something today ❤

This was refreshingly accurate and true. Great video explaining project management. I'm in Real Estate/Resort Reimagining, and my days are super hectic. I'm going to try and implement some of the suggestions from this video. Thanks!

Thanks 🙏🏾

Hi there, thanks for your video, went to the think you gave use though it does not work. Many thanks

Really liked this video mate! Just enrolled to study project management from a construction/labouring background. Gonna be a big jump but trying to get ahead of the learning and this definitely helped! Subscribed already and gonna keep looking through videos!

Excellent video bro

Currently on a major project for a light rail, and the example is spot on.. finish late, wake up to a main broken the night before. Boot up the pc, prioritise the ‘activity’ list, the meetings begin, the phone rings, the priorities change and the actions list gets longer hahaha.

This made me scared because this is what I wanted to do.

I'm a realtor with aspirations of becoming a real estate developer as I was doing some research, as we all do, visited YouTube University, lol your video was the first on the page. I loved everything you said, I subscribed and liked your content. Can't wait to learn more from you Jason!
