Project is divided into 2 types:

What are the differences between those 2

types?
Manufacture
We already know that project is a sequence
of activities to achieve a goal by using the
available resources in a certain time

The characteristic of manufacture is that

sequence of activities was done
repeatedly (repetitive)
Examples
Precast concrete: precast slab, prestress
beam, concrete piles
Lightweight steel roof truss, bridge steel
truss
Alumunium frame and panel for windows
and doors
Brick, concrete block, concrete roof
etc

The characteristic of construction is that

sequence of activities was done once (not
repetitive)
Example
Buildings : house, hospital, school, shopping
mall, high-rise building, etc
Bridges : suspension bridge, concrete

Roads : highway, railway
Dam, Tunnel, Harbour
