Overview of the Construction Industry
The construction industry is huge, and diverse, and has a tremendous impact upon the economies of the United States and other companies around the world. Construction companies are in business to earn a profit, and those who supervise construction work have an enormous impact on the profitability of construction work. Competition is intense and risk is high in the construction industry; but there are tremendous rewards for those who can manage in such a way as to be successful. There are a variety of people who comprise the construction team on projects: owner, architect, engineer, consultant, construction manager, prime contractor, subcontractor, sub‐subcontractor, materials suppliers. Effective supervisors, those who can consistently fulfill project objectives in the complex and demanding environment of the construction industry, have a bright and rewarding future in the industry.
