INTRODUCTION
The concept of construction management is referred as the professional services that uses
various specialised factors in their working. Project management is described as the
technique that involves planning, designing and constructing a particular project from its
starting to the end phase. The main purpose of construction management is to manage and
control over the project time, its respective cost, quality and delivery factors. in this report
an industrial complex is designed and implemented that is situated near parallel highways in
London. The complex is separated from one of the highway by last flowing river. The river
is about 20m. wide and lies in the middle of 4 km land space between the complex site and
two highways. In this report professionalism in the construction industry structure, scope,
linkage between all parties of organisation and various contractual works are being
mentioned. Different types of construction companies, various contract planning techniques
and their use in the macro as well as micro projects are also discussed in this project report.
TASK1
P1 explanation of construction industry has developed and encompasses professionalism in its
structures
Construction industries have various special characteristics, attributes, expertise and skills to
implement plans into the real actions. Some of characteristics and professionalism that is
required at every level of structure are discussed below:
Approach: Approach is the most effective factor that ensure the success of every
organization. In construction industry most appropriate approaches are used according to various
situations. So, it facilitates the business to ensure employment success.
Mindset: Designs that are prepared in the construction industries for the building new
constructions is the thoughtful process. These designs are formulated after considered all
important factors.
Behavior: The behavior is contractors is respectful and calm. They can take effective
decision in the difficult situation and they also have analytical skills.
In construction industry various professional are working in different field (Alwan, Jones,and
Holgate, 2017). These are specialized in their work. These professionals are known as the

architect, civil engineer, automation engineer, structural engineer and scheme holders. They
encompass various roles in the construction organization that are discussed below:
 They have responsibility to maintain and improve overall designing of surrounding.
 Manage various people by providing them trainings, guidance, and PDP programs.
 Expend existing skilled education factor that facilitates organization to complete all
operations in defined manner.
 They have control over all principals and activities of organization in order to run it
effective as well as in efficient way.
In order to complete the project in successful manner, it is required to complete the project on
time with quality (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017). Professionals help in the
attainment of goals and objectives and prepare effective plan to develop structure in effective
way. Construction professionals are specialized person who are able to create construction
design, develop suitable structure for the project of building complex.
P2 Scope and linkage between all parties in construction organization
Construction organization and its all offices included head office and site office manage
their relationship to ensure long term development. In the various scope of market, it is important
to develop appropriate framework that is based upon the functions and performance. Appropriate
plans and management facilitate to align all human resources and materials. If all parties of
construction organization linked with each other effectively then all decisions are taken in
appropriate way.
Linkage between all parties in construction organization: In process of completing
construction project various parties are involved that perform their defined task in effective
manner. These parties can be from public as well a from private sector. In the construction
business involved parties are client, architect or engineer and general contractor. All these parties
are linked with each other by creating business agreement or contract for the completion of
project with efficiency. Construction process includes design whole process, engineering
construction and its management as well as maintenance.
Construction project of complex can start their project execution after client describes all
funds and resources for the project and provide approval from the relative authorities
(Bloom,2019). When all the above step is completed, client approach the architect for the
completing construction process in required manner. In medium as well as large size projects,
