Planning for construction: they create a project schedule and look for obstacles that may delay the project. They also help plan the construction by looking at maps and blueprints, as well as going to the field to survey the site.

Evaluating work throughout construction: they make sure everything is going smoothly throughout the building process, including ensuring project specifications and deadlines are being met, inspecting regularly for problems, and solving ways to fix the issues that come up.
