Construction Project Phases
The three phases of construction—pre-construction, construction, and post-construction—are essential for successful project management and execution.
- Pre-Construction Phase
- Creating a plan, design, securing permits, and gathering labor and resources.
- Construction Phase
- Spanning from the start of physical construction till completion.
- Post-Construction Phase
- Occurring from the end of construction until the turnover of the project to the owner.

- Electric and plumbing work
- Finishing
Construction Sequences
The major sequences of construction include:
- Marking
