This document discusses career paths in the built environment field. It outlines the education requirements, which typically includes a diploma, degree, or master's degree in a built environment-related field. Professionals then complete a post-graduate internship and professional exam to become qualified or registered. Various statutory boards and professional institutions regulate the different professions. The document notes a "missing gap" around construction project managers and how the CIDB aims to register certified construction project managers to fill this role. Finally, it provides an overview of the general job scope of built environment professionals in managing development projects through various stages.
