The problems such as the low level of project management's development and quality of the supervisors, and the scarcity of the multi-skill and high-quality project managers, are especially pressing to be solved, because these problems have restricted and prevented the supervision of construction from healthily developing to some extent.The system that a project manager will be responsible for project is adopted in China. According to the characters of project manager, he must a multi-skill and high-quality talent adept at management.But as far as the actuality of project managers is concerned, there are a series of problem on many aspects such as the role of project manager, function of him, appointment, authority, professional skill level, managing and harmonizing skill, professional ethics, etc..
