If you are a construction business owner, project or contracts manager, and you are in charge of a specialist contract (i.e. trade), typically subcontracting under a larger building company, this qualification is the right fit for you.
As a construction manager, you are expected to be in charge of smaller parts of a project, or multiple projects at the same time. Your duties focus on the construction management of specific specialist contracts.
Your hands-on experience must be supported with evidence from your work that aligns with the assessment criteria.
You can provide evidence from current or previous contracts, demonstrating your ability to:
•
gather and implement the necessary information in order to organise H&S procedures in the construction environment
•
obtain necessary information, plan, and develop the work programme for your team operations in line with a main contractor's requirements
•
develop organizational procedures for monitoring project progress
•
implement construction organisational procedures and delegate specific organisational tasks to line supervisors or subcontracting teams to meet the contract requirements
•
control budget, costs and procurements, as well as organise supply and storage of the project resources
•
control the quality of the project
•
attend and take part in regular project progress meetings
•
liaise with other contractors, superiors, or clients regarding the project
Different companies use different types of information and documentation. Your task is to explain (ideally with proof) what works for you and how you organise, manage and execute your work activities in your management role.
The Level 6 Construction Management qualification is assessed by an NVQ assessor who is a chartered member of the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB).
Construction managers employed directly by the main contractor or large specialist subcontracting company may want to pursue the NVQ Level 6 Construction Site Management qualification.

Construction Management NVQ Assessment Process
Usually, it takes 2 assessment sessions to cover the construction management assessment criteria. Depending on the quality of evidence we receive from you and your personal circumstances, these sessions may involve a site visit.
Although the assessment process can vary depending on your package selected at the time of your booking (for options, see the booking form), we can outline typical steps you can expect during your assessment. However, given the dynamic nature of our industry, we always strive to adapt the process to suit your individual situation.
For simplicity, let’s break down the process of a typical construction management assessment into six chronological steps.
Step 1Introduction
You will receive an instructional email as startup guidance, which will include a list of product evidence examples and suggestions for effective collaboration methods with your assessor. This will help you identify the evidence you need to compile for your assessment portfolio.
Step 2Welcome Call
You will arrange an induction call (usually a video call) to discuss the assessment requirements, your work, and the product evidence from your current or previous jobs. During this call, you'll agree on the next steps and gain a clear understanding of what you need to do to prepare for the first assessment session. The assessor will also email you any required course materials.
Step 3Compile Evidence
Based on the guidance and advice provided by the assessor, you will start compiling evidence (if not already available) for the first assessment session.
Step 4The Assessment
Once you have gathered sufficient evidence for the first session, you will arrange a video call to discuss all the files and explain your work process and methods. The first session is generally designed to cover around 50% of the assessment criteria.
Step 5Assessment Progress
Following the first session, the assessor will review all the evidence and conduct a gap analysis to identify the remaining criteria. You will receive feedback on the necessary steps to address these criteria. Once you have gathered the additional evidence, you can arrange your next session, which may involve an onsite visit or a video call based on the evidence quality and your circumstances.
Step 6Completion
During this session, our goal is to address all the remaining criteria to complete your assessment. In most cases, this marks the final session. Once we have covered 100% of the assessment criteria, we will compile and finalize your portfolio. Then, we will proceed to claim your NVQ achievement from the Awarding Body.
Our centre has been approved to deliver this qualification through CITB Employer Networks funding.
