This was so helpful! I was speaking with a contractor and he kept asking if I project managed projects and if only I had this verbiage before. It was almost tricky trying to guide the contractor towards an understanding of the fact that we do a little bit of everything but our main focus is procurement and oversight. Brilliant!
I used to call it Project Management, too, but I'd always explain the difference. It's just too confusing. Project management is so ingrained into construction that we simply need different terminology, or else we're digging ourselves very deep holes. Thanks for taking the time to write; I really appreciate it!
This is so helpful. As someone who works with an interior designer and deals with 90% of the 'non-creative' aspects of the business, I always struggle to know how to explain what I do (to people both in and out of the industry!).
Thanks for taking the time to write; I really appreciate it. The industry is changing, and we have the opportunity to shape it! It's exciting and scary at the same time.
i agree with you recently i was hired as a procurement manager. but the strange thing is i dont even know the word of procurement before im joinig here, now i'm trying to learn everything about interiors

And Clients expect us to manage the Architect/Engr and Contractors job 😂
You can't imagine how many interior designers actually say yes to it too...
I agree with the terminology. ✅👏
