In
project architecture and civil engineering, construction is the
building or assembly of any infrastructure on a site or sites.
Although this may be thought of as a single activity, in fact
construction is a feat of multitasking. Normally the job is managed
by the construction manager and supervised by the project manager,
design engineer or project architect. While these people work
in offices, every construction project requires a large number
of laborers, carpenters, and other skilled tradesmen to complete
the physical task of construction.
For the successful execution of
a project effective planning is essential. Those involved with the
design and execution of the infrastructure in question must consider
the environmental impact of the job, the successful scheduling,
budgeting, site safety, availability of materials, logistics, inconvenience
to the public caused by construction delays, preparing tender documents,
etc.
BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
“Building”
means any structure built for permanent use as a house, factory,
etc., which is valued separately for general property tax purposes.
A structure that has been subdivided into multiple ownership units,
such as office condominiums, is still considered one building unless
the subdivision occurred more than twenty years ago. A single business
entity consisting of related structures on the same site, such as
an old motor court, that is valued as one unit for property tax
purposes will be considered one building.
Building construction is the process
of adding structure to real property. The vast majority of building
construction projects are small renovations, such as addition of
a room, or renovation of a bathroom. Often, the owner of the property
acts as laborer, paymaster, and design team for the entire project.
However, all building construction projects include some elements
in common - design, financial, and legal considerations. Many projects
of varying sizes reach undesirable end results, such as structural
collapse, cost overruns, and/or litigatios reason, those with experience
in the field make detailed plans and maintain careful oversight
during the project to ensure a positive outcome.
Building construction is procured
privately or publicly utilizing various delivery methodologies,
including hard bid, negotiated price, traditional, management contracting,
construction management-at-risk, design & build and design-build
bridging.
