The Construction Manager will coordinate with the third-party scheduling consultant, the design professional, the cost estimators, BIM representatives and other key project participants to establish a work breakdown structure (WBS) for the construction schedules that is best suited for each construction contract for the project. They will align the schedule WBS with the cost breakdown structure (CBS) and the elements included within the Building Information Model (BIM).
