<p>Do the construction professionals (engineers, manager, estimators) have to use the honeybuckets, or do they have restrooms inside their job trailors? I had to use the HB during my internship last summer, but we were just paving new roads, which doesn't really compare to a large job site. Although I do enjoy being outdoors and working in the field, using the HB was not something I enjoyed :) Wouldn't mind doing it a few times a week, but would not be too fond of having it as my only option every single day. I'm a woman, and I really appreciate my running water :) Thanks!</p>
<p>Estimators are rarely on construction sites; I'd estimate maybe 5% of the time, so this isn't anything to worry about.</p>
<p>For engineers, it varies a lot more based on your duties. If you're on-site for monitoring and inspection, you'll be on-site for just as many hours as the trades and management. If you're primarily doing design, then you won't be on construction sites quite as often.</p>
<p>If you're in construction management in the field (as in not stationed in the home office), it will still vary a lot. It all depends on the type of project and the facilities. </p>
<p>My first project had its field office located in a converted warehouse right next to the highway (which was the project). The restrooms weren't amazing, but they're much better than a port-a-potty. We had the luxury of being located in an area with property to rent and it was a long term project.</p>
<p>My second project had locations all over the city, and we worked at each locations for a maximum of a few months at a time. It made no sense to rent space, so we just had a port-a-potty at each location.</p>
<p>When I went over into buildings construction, we had pretty standard restrooms in our field office located within the building. We had our contractors build it out (we bought this in their contracts) and it worked out pretty well. Of course, I jumped on to this project when the superstructure was already complete.</p>
<p>On my current project, we're in trailers and conex boxes since we're in the very early stages of the building. However, in our trailers we do have running water in the restrooms (it comes from a tank located inside). Everything gets flushed out into a tank located under the trailer, which gets pumped out on a regular basis. We also have port-a-potties on site. </p>
<p>So... if you do become a project manager, don't be cheap! You can pretty much have whatever you want if you can pay for it.</p>
