Commercial Management

Commercial management covers a wide variety of construction commercial processes. Commercial managers are responsible for:

• Measuring and valuing the work carried out.
• The increasingly complex financial arrangements for civil engineering projects.
• Demonstrating an awareness of the construction process.
• Planning and programming the work, ensuring that cash flows fit with the financial plan and are fully conversant with accounting practice in declaring the profitability of the project.
• Ensuring that procurement is carried out within the complex rules that now prevail in public projects and being aware of legal implications.
• Accurate preparation and administration of contract documents.
• Developing and close monitoring of works programmes and budgets.
• Ensuring the settlement of any disputes which might arise.
