Features: This book aims to introduce the work procedures and methods adopted by construction contractors during the project construction and post-construction management stages. Modern construction does not merely mean completing physical works; contractors also need to systematically plan, organize, manage, control, and document on-site activities. In the current construction market, any mistakes on the construction site are unacceptable. Possessing good, organized technical skills and the ability to anticipate potential problems are crucial. Effective management of the construction site can bring profits to the building project. A sound record-keeping system can enhance managers' awareness of issues, allowing them to address them proactively during the construction process, thereby saving the effort and costs required for handling complaints and lawsuits. The current legal environment requires detailed documentation of construction activities and events.
