as,divergent,materials come together to form a structure,so,too,does a diverse group of people come together to make the project possible.To bring together numerous independent businesses and corporate personalities into one goal oriented process is the peculiar challenge of the construction industry.,The organizational cultures of architects,engineers,owners,builders,manufacturers,and suppliers may seem to work against the real need to forge a partnership that will ensure the success of a project,1.,Construction industry is a basic one to our economy and to our daily lives.The highways we drive on,the bridges we cross,the water we drink,the fuel we burn,all are made possible by the activities of the construction.Likewise,where we shop,where we work,where we worship and learn,and where we live and exist because of the construction.Designers have visions,but until the contractor builds,those visions are just dreams on a sheet of paper.,1.,Selected English ReadingsText,2.Note,3.text Translation and Analysis,4.,Oral English Practice,Unit 2 Construction and Construction Management,Construction project,Construction projects involve much time and expense,and control of them is required if they are to be completed within the established time and cost limitations,2.,Effective management of a project requires a,considerable,background of general knowledge about the construction industry.So the purpose of the unit is to,familiarize,the reader with certain fundamentals of construction practice.,Construction projects are,intricate,and time-consuming undertakings.The total development of a project normally consists of several phases requiring a diverse range of specialized services.In progressing from initial planning to project completion,the typical job passes through successive and distinct stages that demand inputs from such,disparate,directions as financial organizations,governmental agencies,engineers,architects,lawyers,insurance and surety companies,contractors,and building,tradesmen,.,1.,Selected English ReadingsText,2.Note,3.text Translation and Analysis,4.,Oral English Practice,Unit 2 Construction and Construction Management,Construction project,During the construction process itself,even a structure of modest proportions involves many skills,materials,and,literally,hundreds of different operations.,To some degree each construction project is unique,and no two are ever quite alike.In its specifics,each structure is tailored to suit its environment,arranged to perform its own particular function,and designed to reflect personal tastes and preferences.The vagaries of the construction site and the possibilities for creative and,utilitarian,variation of even the most standardized building product combine to make each construction project new and different experience.,1.,Selected English ReadingsText,2.Note,3.text Translation and Analysis,4.,Oral English Practice,Unit 2 Construction and Construction Management,Construction project,The construction process is subject to the influence of highly variable and sometimes unpredictable factors.The construction team,which includes architects,engineers,tradesmen,subcontractors,material dealers,and others,changes from one job to the next.All the complexities inherent to different construction sites such as subsoil conditions,surface topography,weather,transportation,material supply,utilities and services,local subcontractors,and labor conditions are an innate part of construction.,As a consequence of these circumstances,construction projects are typified by their complexity and diversity and by the non-standardized nature of their production.The use of factory-produced modular units may,diminish,this individuality somewhat,but it is unlikely that field construction will ever be able to adapt itself completely to the standardized methods and product uniformity of assembly-line production.,1.,Selected English ReadingsText,2.Note,3.text Translation and Analysis,4.,Oral English Practice,Unit 2 Construction and Construction Management,Construction project management,Construction project management is concerned with planning,scheduling,and controlling nonroutine activities within certain time and resource constrains,3,.,If a construction project is to be constructed within its established budget and time schedule,close management control of field operations is a necessity.Construction project conditions include technical complexity,importance of timely completion,resource limitations,and control of co
