Study Notes
- Construction management involves setting up a portable plant, bringing materials to the site, completing the work, and moving the plant away, leaving behind immobile structures like airports, buildings, dams, and more.
- The Construction Manager (CM) oversees workers, subcontractors, equipment, materials, money, and time in the construction process.
- Construction differs from manufacturing in managing and supplying utilities, slower adoption of technical innovations, success depending on quality people, and producing highly custom-oriented, complex products.
- Characteristics of the construction industry include physical product nature (large, expensive, customer-tailored), ultimate product use (production means, infrastructure improvement, social investment), demand determinants, and its unique nature ranging from small remodeling to large international contractors.
- The construction project life cycle involves project formulation, engineering & design, planning, construction, and project completion stages following corporate or public commissioning for group needs fulfillment.
