Construction is a process that refers to constructing buildings or infrastructure. Construction is not related to manufacturing. In manufacturing, there is an involvement of mass production of similar items without a designated purchaser. On the other hand in construction, construction will take place on the location of the client. Construction is an industry that constitutes 6 to 9% of the gross domestic product in developed countries.
The construction process kick starts with planning, design, and financing. The process is continuous until the project is built and ready for use. Large-scale construction is made possible due to the collaboration of multiple disciplines. All the work during the project is managed by the project manager. Other people involved here include a construction engineer, construction manager, design engineer, or architect-engineer. The people linked with the design and execution should know about the zoning requirements along with the environmental impact of the job. They should also know about the construction-site safety, scheduling, budgeting, availability, transportation of building materials, logistics, and inconvenience to the public due to construction delays and bidding. The projects that are done on large projects are called megaprojects.
