ABSTRACT
It is indisputable that construction constitutes a vital part of any country's economy. Perhaps more importantly, construction also constitutes an essential component of every society, no matter what its level of so-called development. Those two self-evident observations provide the rationale for this text; not really the former aspect, which has been addressed extensively over the years by many specialists, but primarily the latter, which, although not ignored, has received only scant, passing attention.
