A construction consultant might specialize in any number of construction-related fields. Some common specialties include:

  • Building surveyor

Job Description and Typical Services

A construction consultant is an experienced independent contractor, usually with a degree in architecture or engineering, who is hired to advise on construction projects.

Generally, the consultant’s duties fall into three categories:

  1. Planning – Construction consultants are often contracted during the planning phase to determine a project’s viability, estimate costs and environmental implications, permit requirements, and improve designs.
  2. Problem Inspection – Once the construction has begun, consultants are used to boost efficiency, maintain the budget, and identify and solve problems.
  3. Forensics – A construction consultant may be tasked with identifying how and why a project failed to prevent future projects from facing the same fate.
