Managing a Large Construction Site

Abstract

Introduction Every year millions of pounds are invested in designing and constructing massive development projects such as factories, refineries, housing estates, hospitals and similar ventures. The management problems associated with such work are immense. Rarely can one organisation do the job, therefore a number of separate contracting organisations come together to do the different mechanical, electrical, building, chemical and other technical functions.
