◉ Objective of Project Management
Answer: May be said to be the achievement of predetermined
specifics within given targets of time, quality, cost and scope. But,
the measured of success of the project is the maintenance of

scope, quality, time and budget.
◉ Heavy Civil
Answer: 10%
,Roadways, Bridges, Tunnels, Dams, Airports, and Railways
Mostly publicly funded.
Horizontal Construction
◉ Industrial
Answer: Steel mills, Processing plans, Manufacturing plants, Pipe
lines, Electrical generating facilities, Oil refineries, Chemical
processing plants.
Mostly publicly funded.
Least affected by economic fluctuations.
Quality and time most important.
◉ Funding Sources
Answer: 36% Public
64% Private
Public Building: 10%
Public Non-building: 12%
Private Building: 71%
Private Non-building: 7%
