Advancement Prospects
Since construction managers already hold a high-tier position in the construction industry, promotion may be limited, especially with smaller firms. Some construction managers may move to larger companies that deal with bigger building contracts and projects. Promotion within larger companies may take the form of an upper-level management or executive position.
Some construction managers choose to open their own construction firms or branch off into real estate development. Others may choose to continue their education and become architects or engineers.
