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.
