On the basis of the results of empirical research, it has been indicated what becomes a challenge for construction project managers.

The core competencies of construction managers have been defined. It has been indicated that there is a need for creating project manager’s maturity. It is also crucial to stimulate the project manager personality thanks to younger generations.
