Configuration control is a useful document that guides the construction engineers in delivering the final product that meet the client requirements and specifications; and that they are built according to approved design documentation. Configuration control consists of certain techniques, competences, and relevant structural tools, which enable the engineers to ensure the consistency of the design and physical properties, requirements, and functional features. Configuration control necessary for

One of the common characteristics of mega construction projects is that they include multiple stakeholders: Organizations, Clients, Governments sometimes, Consultants and the Recipients. Therefore, variable conflicts might occur between these stakeholders as a result of variations in interests, requirements, perspectives, expectations or methods of communication
subject of construction delays was widely discussed and analyzed by various researches in the past decades, however, delays in construction projects were still being reported although several research projects were conducted on the subject to address the issues, the continuous occurrence of the delays in construction projects bring the researchers to review the issues again, and to enhance the knowledge in the construction industry in the view of overcoming the issues related to construction delays.
Kept for 56 days, the visual change in specimen and the change in mass with original mass of water cured specimen were determined. CHALLENGES ON SITE There are numerous challenges facing today’s construction manager. Some are new to the industry, and some are centuries old. Many of these challenges are a direct result of construction operations, while others a result of indirect, peripheral activities. A surprising number of challenges are not construction issues but must be addressed
CHAPTER1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 EQUIPMENT PRODUCTIVITY IN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY The study of productivity though started very early in the field of construction, it has still been one of the chronic problems confronting the organizations having their business in this mammoth industry.
