The management of construction is an enterprise that
involves many people with diverse interests, talents and
backgrounds. The owner, design professional and
contractor comprise the primary triad of parties,
However, others such as subcontractors, material
suppliers, bankers, insurance and bonding companies,
attorneys and public agency officials, are vital elements
of the project team whose interrelated roles must be
coordinated to assure a successful project.
