Because construction managers are often involved with public health issues in environmental construction, you can expect to spend a significant amount of your time dealing with governmental and regulatory agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC), not to mention the myriad of state and local authorities. For this reason, individuals involved in this sector of the industry not only need to be familiar with construction means, methods, and management but also need to be familiar with the law, particularly those laws and regulations dealing with public health and the environment. As a matter of fact, many construction management graduates who go on to work in the environmental sector often get graduate degrees in environmental engineering or environmental law.
