The different jobs are supervised by the following staff:

• Construction manager – is in charge of planning and carving out the project
• Design engineer – works with a team of engineers and designers to develop the conceptual design
• Construction engineer – is between civil engineer and construction manager, deals with designing, planning, construction and management of infrastructure
• Project architect – responsible for plans

Construction planning involves: f

• Scheduling – is a time-table of tasks
• Budgeting  - concerns the financial part, expenses, savings
• Construction site safety – deals with injuries prevention
• Availability of building material
• Logistics – manages flow of the goods
• Inconvenience to the public caused by  construction delays
• Environmental impact – it is an influence on the environment

Construction types can be generally divided into three basic kinds:

• Building construction
• Heavy / civil construction
• Industrial construction

Construction project requirements include the points below

• A unique team to plan
• Project design
• Project construction
• Project maintenance

Building construction

• It is a process of adding structure to a real property
• The vast majority of construction projects is small renovations (addition of a room, a room renovation)

Building Site - Construction

In the fields of architecture and civil engineering, construction is a process that consists of the building or assembling of infrastructure.  Normally, the job is managed by a project manager, and supervised by a construction manager, design, and construction engineer or project architect. For the successful execution of a project effective planning is essential. Those involved with the design and execution of the infrastructure must consider the environmental impact of the job, the successful scheduling, budgeting,construction site safety, availability of building materials, logistics, and the inconvenience to the public caused by construction delays.

In general, there are three types of construction: 1) Building construction, 2) Heavy / civil construction and 3) Industrial construction.
Each type of construction project requires a unique team to plan, design, construct and maintain the project. Building construction is the process of adding structure to real property. The vast majority of building construction projects are small renovations, such as the addition of a room, or the renovation of a bathroom. Often, the owner of the property acts as labourer, paymaster, and design team for the entire project. However, all building construction projects include some elements in common - design, financial, estimating and legal considerations.
