Okay, let’s calculate this. Dawn has a mix of construction management and architecture background, which is somewhat unique. Her skills like project planning, value engineering, and contract management are in demand. However, her location in San Diego, California might not be as expensive as other major US cities. Construction managers with similar experience in the US average $75–$125 per hour, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Considering her education from the San Francisco Institute of Architecture, which might not be directly applicable to construction management, I’ll estimate around $75 per hour.
