THE IMPORTANT OF SOIL TESTING IN CIVIL ENGINEERING CONSTRUCTION
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
- BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
It is very necessary in the field of civil engineering to have knowledge of the term “Construction Document”. Construction documents include all building plans, specifications and supporting documents used during the completion of a construction project. There are the final drawing and specification of the construction project used by the contractors to determine their bid while engineers use them for construction process.
These documents are either in hard copies or soft copies, showing the record and general condition, special condition, bill of quantity, drawing, schedules, pricing schedule and insurance details between the employer and the project contractor. First, they help translate the needs to the owner or developer into a build able format that can be universally understood within the construction industry. Second, they allow the owner to put the project out for bid and to obtain permits from local authorities. Construction document also provide comprehensive instruction to the contractor and how the project should be constructed. Construction document also play an important role on how services are been defined, the contractors plan, the
people required and sub contracting detail access to affected property, how effective work is managed, how amount for payment are calculated, when those payments are made and what compensation are to made and how they are managed.
1.1. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
This research work has been carried out with the following objective
- To identify the important of Civil Engineering Construction Document.
- To evaluate the concept of Civil Engineering Construction Document.
- To help in creating awareness about the need for Civil Engineering Construction Document to be used in every Civil Engineering project.
