PARTICIPANTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION
PROJECT

1. Owner / Client
 Private or public
 Conceives the construction project
 Increasing level of sophistication
Classification of Clients Sector:

1. Public owners consist of national and local government

agencies or units tasked to implement construction
projects intended either for public use (roads, bridges,
ports, dams, parks, and similar works) or for public
service(government buildings and other facilities or
structures for the development of the national wealth).

2. Private owners, on the other hand, are non- governmental

entities requiring services for residential,
commercial, and/or industrial construction.
Participants in the Construction Process
2. Designer
 Architects
 Size of firms ranging form single
practitioner to large integrated firms
 Mostly building and residential
construction
 Engineers
 Civil, mechanical, structural,
electrical,chemical, environmental,
geotechechnical, and multidiscipline
Participants in the Construction Process

3. General Contractor
 General contractor also called “Prime” contractor
 Specialty contractors working as subcontractors
 Organization ranges from small, one-person
company to large, integrated A/E/C firms
 Part of a design-build team
Participants in the Construction Process
4. Construction Manager
 Two principle divisions of CM
 CM for Fee (management services only)
 CM At Risk
 Operates similarly to a GC or DB with no
labor or capital equipment
 Can encompass the management of the design
process as well as construction
 CM services including inspection and overall
project or program management
Participants in the Construction Process
5. Suppliers
 Manufactures, distributors, research, promotions
 Materials and equipment sales
 Equipment Rental
6. Fabricators
 Structural steel, pre-castors, wood products
7. Labor/Trade Unions
Government
Two major types of governmental
project owners:

1. Infrastructure Agencies - are those

whose primary function is to provide (either
by contract or by direct administration) the
necessary public works or facilities within their
areas of responsibility.
The bulk of public construction projects are
implemented by three major infrastructure agencies:
1. Department of Public Works and
Highways (DPWH),
2. Department of Transportation and
Communication (DOTC), and
3. Department of Energy (DOE).
Under these three agencies are several offices and
government corporations also classified as infrastructure
agencies. These include the:
National Power Corporation (NPC)
National Irrigation Administration(NIA)
National Electrification Administration (NEA)
Philippine Ports Authority (PPA)
Local Water and Utilities Administration (LWUA)
Bureau of Air Transportation (BAT),
Philippine National Railways (PNR), Light
Railways Transit Authority (LRTA).
National Housing Authority (NHA).
Most of these agencies have decentralized
organizational structures which allow for infrastructure
planning and delivery at the regional and district levels.
Participants in the Construction Proces

Utility Companies
 Electric, communications, water, gas,sanitary
sewer
 Private petroleum pipelines
 Owner or service provider
 Integral part of the process
 Existing facilities in conflict with new
construction
 Interruption of service can be very costly
Participants in the Construction Process
Industry Associations
 Organizations of construction contractors
 Organizations of the design and management
professions
 Construction material and equipment
suppliers and product research
 Construction labor organizations
 Coordination and arbitration
 Inspection, specifications, and costs
Industry Associations
 Functions and services
 Industry information and communication
 Development and maintenance of standards
 Industry coordination
 Collective bargaining
 Statistics (market & industry)
 Meetings and conventions
