ABSTRACT
Construction projects are undertaken by a multitude of firms, which are assembled for brief periods of time, then disbanded. The success of the project depends largely on whether the project team including the architect, the general contractor and subcontractors has been properly engaged and managed. The client has the freedom to arrange the project organization, while the general contractor has the freedom to define
the scope of work for each work trade and to select the subcontractor based on the particulars of each project.
