Construction Planners are also known as Project Managers and they make sure the construction project undertaken is built with the right resources to the correct quality and cost, on time and safely. Management of a construction project can be an extremely complex task, depending on the scope of the project. A good construction plan provides a framework for the construction planner to follow.
