Construction ...

Construction Management is a concept which is already widely accepted as the recognized method of managing major worldwide construction projects. On the other hand, it is almost unknown in the home building industry. This is just one of many indications that the valuable principles of construction management are virtually absent for small to medium construction projects. As a result, inefficiencies abound with the seat-of-the-pants mentality. As an example, did you know that projects may be built without encountering any costly change orders? They may even be built on-time and on-budget. This is even true when the budget is considerably lower than conventional values and the time schedule is a fraction of the time normally considered to be acceptable. There are also ways to �encourage� trade contractors to perform as scheduled. All of this may occur while contractors still earn a fair profit. As a matter of fact, they will probably earn more money because of project efficiencies! |
