What does construction management entail? How different is this programme from an architecture programme?

Construction managers are more concerned with the on-time completion of the construction work. While architects (architecture engineer) are more concerned with the basic fundamentals (flexibility, durability and strength) of any building. Construction manager’s fundamental tasks are coordination, supervision, and scheduling in the building of office complexes, residential homes and industrial structures. They need good management as well as communication skills.Construction managers generally have the responsibility of one segment of a big project. There are specialised contractors working under their supervision. Architects design buildings with essential features like safety, energy efficient and functionality. An architect needs to coordinate with the client to set the parameters of construction, such as construction objectives, budget, and requirements of the structure. Architects often do pre-construction assessments to determine the feasibility of the project and any environmental impact the structure might have. When the pre-construction assessment is complete, an architect will then develop the final construction plan, including construction details and building appearance.
