In-Depth Information
A construction project is based on controlling site functions such as:
●
construction function
●
surveying function
●
design team function
●
planning function.
It is the project manager's role to pull these functions together and develop a com-
petent project team. The development of a united team spirit will often lead to a
successful project. Team building within a construction company is essential for the
continued success of the business.
Wates Construction aims to develop a team approach to serve specific types of
projects and clients.
