A building technician may perform the following tasks:
- provide skilled assistance to builders and construction
managers by interpreting and carrying out directions for
planning and organising building projects

practice to direct progress of the work, making sure that
specifications and regulations are followed and proper
methods and materials are used

tenders

coordination of building workers
- record building progress and variations from the design
drawings or specifications

Building technicians may also work as project planners,

managers on large commercial projects. Building technicians
