    The document discusses construction management and actual construction activities. It states that project managers or field engineers sometimes take on the construction manager role and directly work with contractors during construction. When acting as the construction manager, the owner assumes risks normally assigned to the general contractor. The risks involved and their likelihood of occurring must be evaluated for each case and weighed against potential cost savings. Actual construction comprises various specialized craftspeople carrying out civil work like site preparation, mechanical work like equipment setting, electrical work like power and lighting, and specialty work like insulation.
