Assistant Project Managers often visit construction sites and speak with customers to learn about the scope of future projects. They create estimates by considering material costs and the complexity of the project. Estimators also predict overtime and staffing cost by thinking about project deadlines and explaining the reasons for costs to customers. Assistant Project Managers allow companies to expand their facilities and build new ones without exceeding their budgets. They help reduce costs by researching average prices or pay rates, and they build relationships with vendors and subcontractors so they can give accurate price estimates to customers.

Successful Assistant Project Managers are friendly, polite, and professional. They must be able to work under pressure, meet strict deadlines, work independently, and pay attention to a variety of complex details.
