The people in construction cover a wide range of skills and experience. From apprentice carpenters to company executives, the one thing that they share is their passion for the built environment. The building industry is a tough one: risks are high, working conditions are often harsh, conflicts arise because of financial pressures, and safety is always a concern. Interactions among the people on the job can determine whether the project succeeds or falls. Thus, it is important to understand who these people are and what their motivations will be when they come to the job.
The industry is changing.
No longer are the roles of individuals distinct and understood by all participants.
Because of the sophistication of some modern projects, owners' desire to minimize
risk, and the professionalization of the construction industry, these roles
are shifting and merging. Owners can have large in-house design and construction
groups. Designers and constructors can come together to offer services under
one company heading. Both can act as representatives of the owner. Chapter
4 examines some of these relationships and how they are configured through
formal delivery methods and contract arrangements.
