    The document outlines the functions of construction engineering including shop drawing review, constructibility studies, value engineering, and erection procedures. It also discusses executive functions like strategic planning, marketing, and labor relations. Construction training is valuable for design professionals to produce efficient designs, develop management skills, and learn scheduling techniques. The project life cycle and life cycle of a constructed facility are presented. Construction is defined as applying art and science to control the environment through creativity and persistence. Key differences between construction and manufacturing are that construction is not in a controlled environment, each project is unique, and it has higher potential for unforeseen conditions. Problems facing the construction industry include being traditional and slow to adopt technology, restrictive codes, labor issues, liability concerns

    What is Construction?

    Application of art and science


    Inherently dangerous
    Organized chaos
    Mankind using creativity, knowledge,
    strength, determination, and
    persistence to control his environment

    Construction differs from


    manufacturing in that:

    Not performed in controlled conditions,


    therefore highly impacted by weather
    and other environmental conditions
    Seasonality
    Each project is unique
    Remotes sites with various access
    problems

    Construction differs from


    manufacturing in that:

    Process is not as predictable


    Difficulty in applying automation
    High potential for encountering
    unforeseen conditions
    Costs can vary according to conditions

    Construction differs from manufacturing


    in that:

    Difficult to manage and supply utilities


    and other resources.
    Technical innovations are adopted slower.
    Success is dependent upon the quality of
    its people.
    Very custom-oriented
    Product can be of mind-boggling size,
    cost, and complexity

    Problems Facing Construction


    Industry:

    Highly traditional and fragmented; slow to embrace


    new technology

    Restrictive/outdated building codes

    Labor agreements and craft jurisdictional issues

    Liability and legal considerations

    Lack of profit motive or other incentive

    Problems Facing the Construction


    Industry:

    Government regulation

    Environmental constraints

    NIMBY syndrome

    Global competition
