What is a construction project?

Before discussing what a construction project is, we must first understand what a “project” is. A project is a sequence of tasks that when assigned in the correct order lead to the completion of a “project”. Projects are temporary and produce tangible products or outcomes. A construction project, often referred to as just a “project” is the planned process of constructing, refurbishing, renovating, etc. a building, structure, or infrastructure. Construction projects vary, as they are not always consistent. Customers have various requirements and expectations, and it is the contractor’s duty to fulfil them. A contractor, whether a corporation or an independent, is hired and granted the responsibility for the day-to-day oversight of a construction site, management of vendors and trades, and the communication of information to everyone involved throughout the course of a project. Contractors have an obligation to ensure that a project is done correctly within a set budget, timeline, and with their client’s approval. Nowadays, aspects of a contractor’s job have become more streamlined and simpler with the emergence of mobile apps and cloud-based softwares. These applications allow for the management, efficiency, and accuracy of projects to be done better then ever before, making the construction industry better then it has ever been before.
