activities that are being performed by the architects, engineers, as well as quantity surveyor2.
2.1 Explanation about the development and encompassing professionalism within
the construction industry
Construction management is considered to be a challenging profession and to complete
any building project, the building professionals must help the clients in realizing the overall
objective of that project. The development experts incorporate structural designers, modelers,
mechanical specialists, auxiliary architects, electrical designers, and amount surveyors.
Professionalism in the construction industries results in setting strict rules and regulations on the
professionals for regulating their ethical behavior and conduct towards the allocated work3.
2.2 Demonstration of the scope and connection between every party present inside a
building company
The parties involved in the building project are either from the private sector or from the
public sector. Business agreements are signed between those parties as contracts for the
completion of the project work that includes engineering, designing, construction, management,
and safeguarding. The execution of the construction project starts after the accumulation of
