Introduction

Every construction project is a unique

undertaking What does this really mean?

Construction must take into consideration project and site

conditions w nee cons era e o pro ec pre-p ann ng

Pace, complexity & cost are incompatible with trial-and-error corrections as work proceeds

Selection of methods
