The Construction Project (2nd Edition) – eBook

The objective of The Construction Project 2nd Edition ebook is to offer its readers a more detailed and comprehensive understanding of the various individuals involved in the complex world of bonded construction projects, along with the essential documentation that accompanies them. By breaking down the intricate processes and relationships, this ebook serves as a valuable tool and handy resource, especially for those who may be venturing into a construction project for the very first time. It aims to demystify the often overwhelming aspects of construction, enabling readers to navigate the landscape with confidence. Ultimately, this guide is designed to empower new participants in the construction field with the knowledge they need to succeed. This primer is broken into five chapters:

• Chapter One: Phases, provides an overview of the construction phases – from the project’s conception (the design and bid, with contractor selection/contract award of pre-construction) through its physical construction stage, and on to the project’s conclusion (close-out, final payment of post-construction).
• Chapter Two: People, describes the people one might encounter throughout the construction phases, such as the Construction Manager, Superintendent, Inspector, etc., explains their involvement and roles in the project, and identifies their relationship with the other parties on the project.
• Chapter Three: Terms, describes and explains key words and phrases related to contract delivery systems, contract documents, and contract administration, including payment-related terms. It also includes some of the important legal terms found in the contract documents and provides definitions for key players/persons in bonded contract projects.
• Chapter Four: Paperwork, examines the paperwork associated with a construction project and identifies the significance of various documents and paperwork. This chapter is especially helpful should one be in a position of analyzing a failed construction project or a construction dispute.
• Chapter Five: Processes, provides detail about certain key processes that occur during the various construction phases. Processes include items such as the bidding/contractor selection/award processes; the contract administration processes to track the project’s progress and document claims/changes in scope or contract price; and the contract close-out processes.

Each construction project presents its own distinct characteristics. Therefore, it’s important to note that this ePub/PDF ebook focuses on generalities, outlining typical construction projects and associated documents. Whenever possible, the appendix includes examples of the various documents and paperwork that may be encountered throughout different phases of a construction project.
