WHAT DO BASKETBALL GREAT MICHAEL JORDAN AND A CONSTRUCTION MANAGER HAVE IN COMMON?

I recently saw the newly released movie “Air,” about the Nike agent who signed basketball great Michael Jordan to a jaw-dropping promotional deal fresh out of college. The film got me thinking. Um ... had Michael Jordan been five-foot nine, like is brother Larry, rather than six-foot six, would he have become an otherworldly wizard on the basketball court, the best player of all time and a global phenomenon loved by millions?

But what the heck. What possibly could NBA great Michael Jordan and a construction manager have in common? At first glance, probably not a lot. But let’s take a closer look and compare the the two. https://www.concoredg.com/post/what-do-basketball-great-michael-jordan-and-a-construction-manager-have-in-common

THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER ROLE: PAY ATTENTION TO SCHEDULING

Why pay close attention to the scheduling of a construction job for a property you own or are closely involved in? Because not paying close attention is akin to falling asleep at the wheel—and we all know where that can lead.

CONSTRUCTABILITY - A FUNDAMENTAL ASPECT OF ANY COMMERCIAL BUILDING PROJECT

Constructability can broadly be defined as the techniques that bring ease to construction. One could also say it's a construction management approach to bring success to a building project.
