Construction
Turning designs, sites, labor, and materials into built assets.
Construction coordinates temporary production systems around a specific site. Designs and approvals define what can be built; procurement and scheduling determine when trades and materials arrive. Work is often paid through milestones, progress claims, and retainage rather than at the moment costs occur.
What to look for
Project selection, estimating, change control, and cash collection matter as much as workmanship. Compare developers, general contractors, and specialist trades separately: each bears a different combination of land, design, execution, and financing risk.
