20 Construction Projects That Managers Boast About
Every day we see structures that defy our understanding of how they are built and stay together. Architects are always trying to design something that is on the cutting edge, abstract, and that amazes people as they look at the structure. However, once designed, it’s up to the construction manage to ensure that it gets built properly. At times this can be very stressful. Here are 20 structures that demonstrate what I’m talking about. When you look at these, try and think about how they were built, imagine yourself having to manage these projects.




















You will find that in almost every project that there is a battle between the architects on how a structure should be built and how it can be built. As a construction manager, some of the things you have to watch for are safety, stability, and budget. Most of these are worked out between the architects and the engineers, however as the on site manager, it’s up to you to look at everything, to question everything, to ensure that when people are around, in, or on the structure that it is going to be safe.
The last thing you want in your career is to have a project that you managed come crashing down and causing injuries or deaths. This can kill a career very quickly. We see in the news every day where someone was taking bribes to cut corners or look the other way, it’s not worth it. Besides going to prison, living the rest of your life thinking about those who lost their lives due to you looking the other way will be far worse than any jail cell.
So have ethics, have a strong will, be willing to stand up and point out when something is not right. It’s your name, make it worth something, and make it something to be proud of. If and when you do, you will find yourself managing projects like the ones above, ones that people around the world will look and admire.
