Guidelines For A Successful Construction Project
On February 25, 2010
By Scott Wolfe Jr
Every construction project starts with good intentions and a shared goal: successfully deliver the project to the owner on time and on budget. Of course, that’s much easier said than done.
A few groups collaborated to publish some guidelines on how to make this happen.
The Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), the American Subcontractors Association (ASA) and the Associated Specialty Contractors (ASC) published the updated guidelines at http://www.constructionguidelines.org. Or you can download the PDF directly here.
Contractors of all sizes can benefit from having these guidelines desk side. Keep them handy, and pick them up whenever you have a question or concern about a certain phase of work. While it may not answer your problem directly, it may get you thinking in the right direction.
