how do you become a constuction contracts manager?
May 30th, 2009 | 
Author: i thought one would need a background in law or something law related. what are the requirements. i though i could move into contracts management after a couple years as a paralegal in real estate but i heard all i need is experience in construction and a building or property related degre. which is right.? any suggestions. or websites that might heip???
most site managers and contract managers come from engineering backgrounds usually civil engineers. you need construction experience first and all your relevant paperwork. i work in construction and dont really have much contact with the site managers so i'm not 100 percent sure about which qualifications are needed

I think the latter would be sufficient, the experience in construction or property management. But being a paralegal in r.e. would be GREAT experience, to prepare for the contracts management. Think if you were building a multi billion dollar concept, what kind of background you'd like your contracts administrator to have.
If you need a job without a degree, you also could work in an architecture firm as an assistant or office manager, to get more exposure to contracts law.
