Making more money as a construction project manager isn’t too difficult, assuming you’ve performed well enough to justify a raise. Delivering projects on-schedule and under budget can lead to project bonuses, which can lead to more money in your pocket. If you do this often enough, you’ll get opportunities to manage more complex and expensive projects, which can also lead to more money. Earning certification from the Project Management Institute can be an added bonus, making you more marketable and eligible for more prominent jobs (and therefore, more valuable for your employer to retain).

Negotiating a raise as a construction project manager should start with a comparison between your current compensation and what’s being offered in your market for similar jobs. Some construction project managers are satisfied with hopping from job to job or region to region, progressively making more by following building booms. Others are loyal to their company, and are able to progressively ask for more because they consistently perform and give their company a good reputation. Figure out where you stand between these two scenarios and negotiate accordingly. It might be worth your while to move to a region undergoing a construction boom and forgoing negotiation altogether. Otherwise, your track record should speak for itself and you should be prepared to rely on it heavily in negotiations with your current employer.
