Figure 2.1: Construction Project Stage

For every stage of a construction project, from the simplest to the most complex,
there are certain steps and processes that need to be followed to ensure a successful

outcome.

Projects in construction may vary based on their size, the number of
stakeholders involved, budget and delivery date. Regardless of the case, though, a
construction project is always a long and demanding process.

1. Design

Once the project is closer to fruition, it is time to sit down and talk design. This is still a
preliminary stage, which means that nothing is guaranteed at this point. Nevertheless,

design is the stage where usually the bidding process begins.
