Waiting for a follow-up video where you discuss the profit sharing vs percentage on top issue.
Really awesome to see content like this, particularly as movement between roles and specialities in the industry are increasing. 👏
Looking forward to more videos very interesting
Will definitely be posting more. Appreciate the feedback!
Hi, great videos! Just a heads up section 1926.501 OSHA. Safety first! Be careful out there! Fall protection!
I really appreciate the content I’m studying for mechanical engineering but I’m not into it that much and this really sparked my interest in construction management so thank you
Mohammed thank you for the comment. I’m really happy this helped! Is there anything you would like to learn about specifically?
@@Emmanuilb I'm curious because I've been working on multiple home renovations in the past year while taking time off from school after pursuing a business degree and realizing I'm not very interested. I am very book smart but working in the homes and watching the progress has sparked my interest in residential construction. My state university has a residential construction management program that I might start in the fall, but I am wondering about your journey in this career. What was your first job like out of school (assuming you studied for your degree) and what are the hours like for a job like this? I am also curious about the salary but you touched on the profit sharing vs percentage in the beginning of the video so I assume there are different ways to approach how you're paid. I live in Nashville, TN and would love to stay here, and the housing market here is lucrative. I guess I biggest worries are about how competitive the job market would be here and if I would be overworked and end up stuck at a desk for years after working for my degree. That is the reason I decided against business. I am a huge people person but also love to work with my hands and get things done, so I think that I would do well in this field, but I would hate to not have time for family or getting home late and not being able to tackle projects of my own at home.
I am sorry for all that I have typed out, I'm sure you're a busy man and am not expecting a reply anytime soon. Thank you for the video, it made me feel a lot better about choosing this path but I guess I still have a lot of questions because I don't know anyone personally who is in this field. Thank you! Have a great rest of the week/weekend
@@1DavisPaz I’ll be making a video shortly here on how I got to this job and what I’m currently doing now.
@@Emmanuilb yes actually I was wondering what you do off the field like in the office, how much stress do you go through. I want to know how you manage your lifestyle with this job? And thank you again.
I used to major in Mechanical Engineering. I switched to Construction Management because I didn't like the designing in mechanical. The business classes and some of the civil engineering related classes in construction management made me interested in this field.
Your videos have helped me reach over $180,000 in trading by age 23! Thanks Emmanuil Babkin. Keep the videos coming. 👍🏽
Congrats ! i made a lot during covid from my passive income .
Congrats and wishing you the best .
Wow what an achievement! Best of luck for the rest of your future.
@kim sun When I was 20 ,but you need a finance Pro if you don’t want to loose and if you want to be more successful.

Hi, I'm planning on attending MSOE and pursuing the Construction Management B.S degree. Then, I hope to pursue a career in Project Management. I was wondering what Construction Superintendent, Project Managers, Assistant Project Managers, and Construction Managers do on a daily basis. Thanks for uploading all of these informative videos.
STUDYING FOR MY PMP BUT ALSO EXPLORING CAREERS THIS VIDEO WAS SO DOPE
Thank you bro!
Love this! can you please make more day in the life of a construction project manager videos? Love them! Also can you make a video on your thoughts about female construction pm’s? Thanks
Yes i can definitely do that. A female PM from what ive seen has much better luck and ability to get through to the customer and get on the roof for the initial inspection. They come of as more trusted than us males.
How old are you in video man you look really young. Happy for you brother. I'm barely getting into school April 11th at capella university
Quality vid man
Thank you!
Hello
excuse me how you would get to know to build up a house from an empty land to a completed house?
I mean construction management program at most universities seems like teaching management skills but how would someone get to know these?
is there blueprints or plans for each step?
Whats the typical salary for a construction project manager? I'm looking into applying here in NYC.
I am setting up a profit sharing model. What do you suggest
Nice nice video
Thank you!
It's typical to get engineer first out of school right? Get 4 years experience as an engineer and move into a management role? I been looking up assistant project manager as well not sure exactly what path I am gonna take if either opportunity arises. I have a long way to go but I want my bachelor's of science in business project management, get pmi certification, and my contractors license.
As a project manager, do you spend more of your time and days at work in the office or mainly on site?
Mainly on site and driving around. most of the summer is spent at the projects and getting paperwork signed and meeting clients. I would say 25%-40% of the time spent door knocking. During the winter however, its 65% of the time in the office or at the home office and the remainder of the time at the project or with clients.
@@Emmanuilb thank you so much for all the info 😊
Do you pay for the needed materials out of pocket ? Or does the company provide you with a separate spending account ?
You pay for needed materials and then submit a reimbursement request
Senior in high school looking to pursue pm in construction how can I go about this? Should I work as a normal construction worker during college or are mentorships a possibility?
If you’re in a state that gets hit by hail a lot just look up the top rated companies on your area and get interviewed you don’t necessarily need any experience. Majority of your job will be sales (door to door) and the rest is project management.
so to be a construction project manager essential skills include acquiring red bulls? noted.
Pretty much! Or anything that will
Make the roofers happy
I have a lot of experience in the construction field but my degree isn’t in construction management or engineering. Would I still be able to get into this?
Yes, you don’t need a degree at all. Basically you can’t be afraid of door to door knocking and you manage your own projects that you find so it’s a mixture of sales as well.
I’m actually getting an opportunity to become a PM next month and am very nervous and excited. Been in construction field for 8 years and this opportunity kinda fell in my lap so I hope I don’t fuck it up lol
I've worked in the trades from Arizona, Alaska, Wyoming, Texas and Washington...I've never heard someone call themselves a "Construction Project Manager"
Robert their are a few ways you can work in this industry I started as just a sales guy going door to door in hail affected areas. I do the same thing now but I manage the entire project from beginning to end. So meeting adjusters, putting together material orders, supplements and making sure the job is getting done correctly and cleaning up an extra time after the crew is done.
What are the hours typically like per week? I’ve heard there’s 60+ from some people.
Summer time can be 40-60 hours if you have harsh winters, winters in Minnesota I’m working between 5-15 hours. But you make your own schedule. It also depends on how successful you want to be.
@@Emmanuilb I respect the heck out of you for being honest about the work because a lot of people over exaggerate how much they work. In this profession you are only as busy as you allow yourself to be. I have also found that time efficiency is key to working only 40 hours in the busy times.
I have a degree in Journalism and a MBA in marketing and business. Would I still be able to get into construction project management? What steps would you recommend?
Yes this is a sales/project management position. So if you have the worth ethic almost any company would hire. I would suggest getting in during spring time if you’re in the Midwest as winter is slow. You don’t need a degree for this job.
@@Emmanuilb Alright I'm currently based in the UK. England but thanks for the reply
Im graduating in a construction management degree, but I dont feel qualified to look at different contractors work and necessarily tell if it has been done correctly. Do you think this will be a major problem for me in the field? Thanks
Yes, reason being. You're trying to satisfy the client, the contractors are there to complete their jobs to the standards of what the client or you want. If you don't, youll get stepped on in the industry.
@@indersanghaa7060 thanks for the response. Do you have any advice on what type of entry level job i should start out doing then?
@@ryanwatt754well you’re just starting out get experience first but since this was a year ago how has it been going I’m currently in school for a construction management degree also
@@babyjesus1056 its been going really good man i started as a project engineer doing more paperwork / material tracking and things like that, now im a full time superintendent on site running crews for 2 apartment complexes were renovating. I still dont know the most about how to build, but my job revolves more around scheduling to the correct sequence of work, creating punch lists and making sure it gets done, ordering material, calling in inspections, updating schedules etc. Really has gone a lot better than I was expecting but still learning every day.
@@ryanwatt754 great to here bro. Any advice for me I’m currently a sophomore in college for construction m also. Don’t have much experience working construction but I’m currently just taking a bunch of general ed classes and stuff but junior and senior year is when I really jump into my major so any advice would be appreciated.
Bro i am civil engineering graduate from india and want to try my career in as construction manager 1. what could be the entry level salary ?which state has more scope and salary or best in overall for construction manager?
💯⚡️
How old are you? and did you get a degree? Diploma? Bachelors? I live in Sartell, MN, and aspiring to be a Construction Manager/Project manager
I am 23, I did but in accounting, associates degree. Just look up a reputable company around you that have good ethics and great reviews.
Is there a difference between Project Management and Construction Management??
Yes and no, project management is a title because I manage the entire restoration project when a home has been affected by hail. I think construction management is more to do with new construction. But it’s almost the same thing in a way
Hey I am a freshman in a CM program at college do you think the job is worth it and can you explain your pros and cons?
Hello brother, I'm from India and I'm planning to come to USA for doing masters in construction management is that good idea?
Sure, you don’t need to go to university for this job however. At least not in my experience.
Could you post more?
You should get a scan grip work light!
I could but it’s not always that the job goes into the dark
How much do you get paid?
It honestly depends on the year and how well I do, usually between $80k and $120k but some coworkers that do a lot of multi family can get between $150k and $500k depending on the year and it could be higher as well.
Where are you from?
Georgia, and you?
Are you in civil engineering
No I did not go to college for this, I just have an associates in accounting
Did you have to get a degree to do this type of work?
No degree needed
Safety = zero
Lol, “construction project manager”..brah you a roofing salesman cmon
Big difference between just selling and selling, ordering, watching, coordinating, supplementing, and collecting.
